Saskatoon Berry

What is a saskatoon berry? 
All I know is that it arrived on my doorstep this fall. 
Looking like a dried up stick in a pot of soil.
The community farm had too many for it’s food forest so I got one. 
It is out in my garden, in the hole that I dug, in the cold.
It may be dead for all I know or it could bloom and feed us. 
Or it just might be a metaphor.

I think this is the first time my city has made it into a poem. Well done my friend. I hope it blooms in the spring. Saskatoon berry pie is great.
