In the vein of survivalist guerilla planting and plants that are often overlooked by the unaware.
>The Juneberry or Amelanchier is a small tree native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere that produces fruit similar to the blueberry. The fruit is a berry-like pome, red to purple to nearly black at maturity, 5–15mm diameter, insipid to delectably sweet, maturing in summer.
>The fruit of several species is safe to eat raw, possessing a mild sweetness strongly accented by the almond-like flavour of the seeds. Selections from Amelanchier alnifolia have been chosen for fruit production, with several named cultivars. Other cultivars appear to be derived from hybridization between A. alnifolia and A. stolonifera. Propagation is by seed, divisions, and grafting. >Serviceberries graft so readily that grafts onto other genera, such as Crataegus and Sorbus, are often successful.[citation needed]
>The fruit can be harvested for pies, muffins, jams, and wine. The saskatoon berry is harvested commercially. One version of the Native American food pemmican was flavored by serviceberry fruits in combination with minced dried meat and fat. George Washington planted specimens of Amelanchier on the grounds of his estate, Mount Vernon, in Virginia.
