Serviceberry - Shadblow Hardy Ornamental with Edible Fruit The Serviceberry is a popular ornamental shrub prized for its spring/fall color and sweet summer berries. 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.

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
