Unique Features: There is at least one variety of Serviceberry (Amelanchier) native to every continental U.S. state and every Canadian Provence (where they are commonly called Saskatoons), so it is quite adaptable. The Autumn Brilliance is a natural hybrid and is grown as a single trunk or multi stemmed/trunked tree. It was selected for commercial propagation because of its outstanding fall color and disease resistance. The lacy white flowers bloom in spring and attract early pollinators. The fruit that follows is similar to a native blueberry in size and taste, though Serviceberries are not as finicky about soil pH.  As with blueberries, the fruit is very attractive to birds.  For the humans it can eaten fresh or used in pies, pancakes and preserves, if you can beat the birds to it.  In our area the berries usually ripen in July, but back east the berries ripen in June, so they are called Juneberries.
