Serviceberry: A Four-Season Small Tree for the Landscape

Serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.—arborea, × grandiflora, 'Autumn Brilliance') delivers: dangling white spring flowers, delicious blueberry-like fruit in June (beat the birds!), brilliant orange-red fall foliage, and smooth gray winter bark. It's the perfect small tree for a focal spot—like next to a mailbox.

Varieties range from 15–25'. Plant in sun to part shade. The fruit tastes like sweet apples—harvest daily for pies, jam, or fresh eating.
