Canadian serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis)

Amelanchier canadensis, or Canadian Serviceberry, is a versatile, multi-season shrub or small tree known for its delicate white spring blossoms, which attract pollinators. As summer arrives, it produces small, edible berries that turn from red to deep purple, providing a treat for both birds and humans. In the fall, its lush green foliage transforms into fiery shades of orange and red, adding stunning seasonal color.

This low-maintenance, adaptable plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. With its elegant form and year-round interest, Canadian Serviceberry works beautifully as a specimen tree, privacy screen, or naturalized hedge in gardens and landscapes.
