Chex, I was intrigued to see just how many species there are of
Amelanchiar, and some differences in flavor. It would be nice to compare
flavor and production of various cultivars, but for many of us disease
resistance is the #1 limiting factor. Also, I have to wonder about soils,
mineral requirements, etc. My juneberries wouldn't grow till I added boron,
which was the limiting factor in apple trees here too. Donna
