The Allegheny Serviceberry, Amelanchier laevis, is perfect for naturalistic plantings. This small, multi-stemmed, upright tree blooms in early spring with petite, slightly fragrant, white flower clusters. The purplish-blue fruit is delicious in pies and jams and very attractive to birds. This serviceberry is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. It is tolerant of a somewhat wide range of soils, but prefers moist, well-drained loams. Allegheny Serviceberry makes an attractive understory tree for lawns, shrub borders, woodland margins or native plant areas. It has no serious insect or disease problems.
