Event Details

The Juneberry (known also as the Serviceberry or Saskatoon berry) is a small, purplish-blue fruit native to North America. Technically pome fruits, they are similar to apples and pears, rather than true berries like blueberries. They grow on shrubs or small trees, with species varying in size: for example, Amelanchier canadensis typically forms a multi-stemmed bush around 12 feet tall, while Amelanchier arborea grows as a small tree. The fruit ripens in late spring to early summer, which is how it earned the name "juneberry," and the rare berry is grown right here in Domino Park!
