Saskatoon berry production manual

Description

This manual represents a comprehensive resource for new and existing Saskatoon berry growers. It delves into the biology of the plant, both from a basic, whole plant level through to a detailed examination of how the plant will respond to practices such as pruning. The process of propagation is outlined, including a comparison of seedling versus vegetatively propagated material. The manual compares the various commonly grown cultivars for various characteristics and takes growers through orchard establishment and cultural practices for the maintenance of a healthy orchard. There is also a comprehensive outline of pruning techniques, including how pruning affects an orchard and when pruning should be carried out.
