Martin is a well-known Canadian Saskatoon variety. The fruits are relatively large with good sweet-sharp flavour.
Unlike most Saskatoons which ripen progressively over a period of a week or so, the fruits of Martin tend to ripen all at once – making harvesting quicker and easier, provided you can process the resulting abundance of fruits.
