Hello Robert,

Just thought I would mention that Richard St-Pierre of the University of 
Saskatchewan has developed Growing Saskatoons: A manual for Orchardists.  His 
is a pretty thorough manual that had been updated regularly until budgeting 
issues.  However, it is now available online.  Even if you only intend to 
grow a few amelanchier alnifolia it is a nice reference.  

Take Care,

Jim Elie
