One of our favorites! Imagine juicy, flavorful blueberries with tiny almond-flavored seeds on a large leafy shrub and you have an image close to Juneberries (AKA serviceberries or saskatoons). Truly, the ornamental, native shrubs are beautiful and the very nutrient-dense fruit can be amazingly delicious, at best a complex, rich sweet flavor reminiscent of dark cherries, almonds, concord grape, and blueberries combined. They are more nutritious than most blueberries. Çold-hardy and very easy to grow when provided with a full sun location and well-draining soil. Also a great native and wildlife species. The pink, ripening to dark purple berries of this Juneberry are especially delicious with excellent flavor, and the production is heavy.
The particular strain we offer was discovered by us in Louisville, KY. They are a line propagated from various specimens. It seems to be resistant to Cedar Apple Rust which suggests it is Amelanchier canadensis and not A. alniolia. Why the name 'Braveheart'? We discovered the grove of these bushes the day before my 3 year-old son was to have his 4th heart surgery in Louisville, for which he was very brave. This is one of our favorite items.
