The following articles are pdf versions of recently published scientific papers on the biology and culture of prairie native fruit species, primarily Amelanchier alnifolia, the saskatoon berry. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to download, read and print these files. The file sizes that are given are an indication of how long the file will take to download, although this will not be much of an issue with a faster internet connection.
