What is the Saskatoon bush life cycle?

The Saskatoon bush, or Amelanchier alnifolia, undergoes a life cycle that includes several stages: germination, seedling, juvenile, mature, and senescent. It typically starts with seeds germinating in spring, leading to the growth of seedlings that develop into juvenile plants. Over time, these plants mature, producing flowers and berries, which attract pollinators and facilitate reproduction. Eventually, as the plants age, they enter the senescent stage, where growth slows, and they may eventually die, completing the cycle.
