The serviceberry, also known as Amelanchier, is a small deciduous tree or shrub native to North America. It typically grows between 15 to 25 feet tall and produces white flowers in early spring, followed by small, sweet, edible berries in late spring to early summer. These berries are often used in jams, jellies, and desserts. Serviceberries thrive in a variety of soil types and are commonly found in forests, fields, and along roadsides. They are valued for their ornamental qualities, providing beautiful fall foliage and attracting wildlife, including birds and pollinators, to their flowers and fruits.
