Shadblow Serviceberry
Amelanchier canadensis
Amelanchier canadensis, commonly known as Canadian serviceberry or shadblow, is a deciduous tree that is native to eastern North America. It typically grows up to 20-25 feet tall with a spread of 15-20 feet and has an upright, spreading habit. In the spring, the tree produces showy white flowers that give way to edible blue-black berries in the summer, which are attractive to birds and other wildlife. The leaves are a glossy green in the summer and turn to shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall, adding to the tree's year-round appeal. Canadian serviceberry is tolerant of a wide range of soil types and can grow in full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile choice for a variety of landscapes. It is also low-maintenance and does not require pruning, making it an excellent choice for a naturalized landscape or a wildlife garden. Overall, Amelanchier canadensis is a beautiful and useful tree that provides year-round interest to the garden while benefiting wildlife.
