2025 Plant Sale
The 2025 USask plant sale will be online order and pick up. There will be no in-person sale, because we have such limited stock. We do no want 500 people lined up at our gate and not have enough plants. Many of you know the big line up we have had in previous years.
We do however have a ton of apple trees this year. We have nothing grafted for next year and no rootstock for the year after, so if you wanted to get your hands on the Usask varieties this is your year.
Preorders open May 23rd. And pick up is June 6 and 7. Again there is no in-person sale. We know how much some of you liked it. Hopefully, things will return to normal next year.

Haskap Research Tour 2025
Date and time: Friday, July 18th; 9am to 2pm
Location: Horticulture Research Field: 2909 14th Street, Saskatoon.
Description: We will visit several research fields to see various experiments, new and old varieties, wild haskap, seedlings and advanced selections from breeding. We have one of the world's most diverse collections of haskap that are being used in breeding. Attendees get to roam fields, tasting berries and tagging their favourites. We will also be on the look out for pests, diseases and herbicide damage. There will be a harvesting machine and other equipment demonstrations. Noon to 1pm (or so): Lunch and visit. We plan for a light pizza lunch because attendees have already been eating lots of haskap in the field!
1pm to 2pm (or so): Open discussion. Sometimes tradeshow vendors or grower group representatives will want to give short talks.
Please feel free to ask questions. The tour and the open discussion are great opportunities to ask and answer questions. Often new growers don't know the right questions to ask, so hearing what others are curious about works out well.
Cost: $40, Payable by cheque or cash (No bank machine) Cost includes a light Pizza lunch and bottles of water.
Many of our events are held at the Horticulture Research Fields:
