How to get my saskatoon plant to produce berry ?

Question

I leave in France. A couple of years ago, i was given some saskatoon plant (western canadian blueberries). 2 years have come by, and there is still no flower. Can anyone give information on this plant and/or growing technics ?

Answer 1

Had to look up Saskatoon, great name! I know Amelanchier alnifolia as Seviceberry or June Berry.

Don't know how old your starter plants were, but it could take up to five years from seed. Since they want a rich loamy acidic soil. Use a Camellia or Azalea fertilizer, or a high bloom with soil sulfur or another pH adjustor. Goal 5.6 pH.

Answer 2

You must water them frequently because they normally grow in areas near water.

Answer 3

It appears you have been conned. I used to live in France, Lot district, the garden centres are notoriously bad.
