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,
