I planted a Saskatoon serviceberry bush last spring (2017), so it is in it's first full year this year. Last year it produced very small green berries that did not ripen. I put it down to being the first year. This year, it is a little over 5 feet high and has produced many berries, but as yet, they are still very small, hard, and green. Do I need more than one plant for cross pollination? More and/or different fertilizer? Or more frequent watering? 
If we do not have rain, I water thoroughly at least twice a week. As you can see in the photo, the plant also has brown spots on many of the leaves. We have had almost monsoon type rains on the east coast this year and I'm wondering if it has been getting too much water. Any advice is appreciated.
Normally it takes 3 to 5 years for any tree to produce fruit that can be eaten. At the end of the growing season just before winter, you'll need to trim back the tree just a bit and cut off all the branches with fruit on them.
I planted my Saskatoon trees about 4-5 years ago on a lawn plot. To date they are only about 15" tall with no berries.

My Saskatoons are 8 -10 feet tall 6 foot diameter bushes, not trees. Sounds like you need to fertilize and water them. Especially in fall and in early spring you have to water them, or they won't grow.
Once the shoots are 5 - 6 feet produce high and produce lots of berries, let some of them drop. They will produce new shoots and you will soon have bushes.
Maybe somebody sold you Blueberry instead. They are similar, but the berry has a dimple, whereas the Saskatoon has the remains of the blossom.
