Allegheny Serviceberry Shrub

Serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis), also known as Allegheny Serviceberry, is a multi-trunked deciduous shrub or small tree that provides year-round beauty and essential food for wildlife. In early spring, before its leaves emerge, it bursts into bloom with clusters of delicate white flowers, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. By summer, its sweet, edible berries transition from red to deep purple, offering a highly nutritious food source for birds and mammals. This fast-growing shrub or small tree features smooth, slate-gray bark with striking white streaks, blue-green summer foliage, and a brilliant display of orange to red leaves in fall. A true four-season standout, serviceberry thrives in moist, well-drained soils and flourishes in woodland edges, native gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. Why Grow Serviceberry?
