One hardy native fruit tree that will survive and produce fruit in even the trickiest conditions is the juneberry! Snowy mespilus, Amelanchier, service berry, shadbush, saskatoon berry ...

The small, berry-like fruits ripen ... each time you lop off a piece of the tree. Isopropyl alcohol is good for disinfecting most garden tools. Saskatoon-juniper rust is another potential problem.
