It would look great in your naturalized garden or in front of some larger plantings to highlight its form and colors Your Serviceberry will be one of the first plants you notice in the spring. While the rest of your plants are still slumbering, the Serviceberry will burst forth in color. Before its leaves even begin to appear, its 5-peteled clusters of white flowers will stand in sharp contrast to the browns and greys of your transitioning landscape. You’ll enjoy watching the flowers give way to the small green berries as they progress from green to red, and eventually transform into a deep purple. The dark gems are ready to enjoy straight from the bush in the early summer. The Serviceberry is a shrubby, multi-stemmed plant that grows up to 15-25 feet with an equal spread. It’s tolerant of a wide range of soils so you won’t have to fuss over it in order for it to thrive. 3-inch dark green leaves fill out your tree, softly fuzzy at first and later glossy and smooth. Those same leaves will turn a delightful reddish-orange in the fall. Serviceberries look like large, dark blueberries and taste similar, but with an almond-like accent. They are commonly eaten raw or used in various jams and pies. The Serviceberry is a hardy ornamental shrub with a lot to offer. * Ornamental, colorful shrub* Edible fruit* Hardy
