Serviceberry – Amelanchier canadensis
This small multi-stem tree bears white flowers in early spring followed by blueberry-like fruit in
summer. The fruit was once used by Native Americans in bread-making and is a pleasant addition
to pies, pudding, and muffins. Its orange-red fall color and delicate outline in winter make this a
valuable landscape plant.
