Productive and hardy variety with large berries.
It has pretty sunny spot, maybe 60% sun and has done well, but has grown pretty slowly. Gets what I believe is a rust disease, that seems to afflict saskatoon berry in our area. Seems to be able to shake it off and produce a decent amount of edible fruit, actually seems to do much better than other Saskatoon berries around us, and it's berries are bigger than most I've seen.

Super ripe, maybe too ripe, and quite a few berries, this one definitely seems to do better with rust than the other varieties around the area, a good tree.
Maybe the currant maggot? Somebody is poking holes in these guys. With this plus rust issues the saskatoon berry has a hard time in our area.

Good flavor, has that nice nutty taste most saskatoon berries have, when they are super ripe they almost taste meaty, almost like a hint of beef jerky to me.
