Growing 15 to 25 feet tall, this serviceberry is a small, shrub-like tree with dense branching and smooth, striped bark. It blooms and fruits in early summer, producing white flowers in terminal clusters before leaves appear, followed by red, purple, or black berries. As with all native species of Amelanchier, this tree is popular with fruit-eating birds. This plant is easy to grow, doing well in full shade to shade and dry to moist loams.
