Tanis:
It's not the acid soil. At the cottage property, blueberries grow wild everywhere and so do several species of amelanchier including the Saskatoon.
The cottage property is in zone 4.

Tanis,
I've seen Amelanchiers growing in the North woods, where I'm sure the soil is acidic. My two cents worth is that if you can't grow them, it's because they are being eaten. They grow fine here on our farm where the soil isn't particularly sweet (I can't tell you what it is 'cause we've never gotten it tested) but I'm the only one who will ever see them because they get munched to ground level every year, usually by July. When I moved one and fenced it against the deer, I discovered that rabbits will eat them to the ground, too--and that they could get through the deer fence. I have one almost well enough barricaded, and the parts that aren't being eaten look fine.

How to grow: The last time this came up, I think the list figured out that
the reason I couldn't grow amelanchiers is because of loamy-sand soil which
leans toward acidic. Growers with silty & clay soils, and mid to higher pH,
have no problem. Test your soil. (Listers please correct this if I'm
recalling it wrong.)
