Unique Features: There is at least one variety of Serviceberry (Amelanchier) native every continental U.S. state and every Canadian Provence (where they are commonly called Saskatoons), so they are quite adaptable. The Spring Flurry is another variety of Alleghany Serviceberry which was selected for its exceptional tree form and solid central leader. The pure white spring flowers are slightly larger. The fruit that follows is similar to a native blueberry in size and taste, but Serviceberries are not as finicky about soil pH.  As with blueberries the fruit is very attractive to birds. If you can beat them to the fruit, it can be eaten fresh or used in pies, pancakes and preserves. In our area the berries usually ripen in July, but back east they ripen in June so they are called Juneberries. Serviceberries are fairly self-fertile but there will be more if there is another nearby.
