Abstract

Variability of vegetative and reproductive characters of saskatoon cultivars, open-pollinated seedlings and seedlings from controlled crosses was investigated. Fruit pH and plant height was relatively uniform across all populations. Both berry weight and soluble solid content of fruit showed considerable variation and potential for improvement through plant breeding.
