Serviceberry Amelanchier canadensis 1.5 CAL

Serviceberry is a favorite tree of native gardeners, birds, and anyone who sees this lovely tree in spring or fall.
This native tree grows to 25'-30' at a moderate rate, and makes a fantastic centerpiece in your songbird habitat, or as a beautiful understory tree in your naturalized woodland space. Growth habit is often multi-trunked, more like a large shrub, but can be gradually pruned to the shape of a small tree, if desired.

Serviceberry bursts into blossom in early spring, before the leaves emerge, and is covered in slightly fragrant, drooping clusters of white flowers - providing a welcome early-spring  stop for pollinators. 
Summer brings red berries, which ripen into a deep purple-black, and are LOVED by birds and wildlife. These berries can also be enjoyed by humans, and are often made into jams. 
In Autumn, the Serviceberry rewards you yet again with long-lasting brilliant orange fall foliage. Deciduous.
