Description:
Shadblow Serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis), also known as Juneberry, is a beautiful native multi-stemmed shrub or small tree prized for its showy clusters of snowy white flowers in early spring, followed by edible berries that ripen from red to deep purple-black in early summer. These sweet berries are loved by birds and people alike. The deep green foliage turns brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall, providing multi-season interest. With a naturally upright, oval form and attractive silver-striped bark in winter, Shadblow Serviceberry is ideal for wildlife gardens, borders, naturalized plantings, or as a specimen tree. It thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts to a wide range of soils, including clay and sandy sites.
