Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia), also called Serviceberry, Shadbush, or Juneberry, is a native shrub or small tree. This seed was collected locally from the forest around Oak Summit Nursery.
Purple fruit ripens here near the end of June and is eaten fresh or used for pie, wine, and jam. In good years, local plants carry large clusters that weigh down the branches.

How to stratify seed
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
