(Amelanchier X spp.) -Full Sun to Part Shade– 1/2″ blueberry-like fruit, 8-20’ tall. Self-fertile
Serviceberry or juneberry are widely-planted landscape specimens which have tiny apple-like blossoms in spring and 1/2” blueberry-like fruit in early summer. Fruits taste like a very sweet and soft blueberry with less tang. The tiny, almost undetectable seeds add a pleasant almond flavor to the fresh fruits. Fiery orange and red fall foliage. Multi-trunked, smooth grey-barked stems provide interesting form for landscapes. Can take some shade and still produce fruit. Once established, pretty bombproof plants. These are open-pollinated seedlings from two local plants that have exceptionally tasty and prolific fruit, but we are not certain of their variety or species–we think one is ‘Princess Diana’. Likely A. canadensis and A. grandiflora so these seedlings may be a cross between the two. Parent trees are only 8′ tall and have exceptionally tasty berries in large, evenly-ripening clusters. These seedlings may range in mature size from 6′-20′ but can be kept to easy picking height with pruning or coppicing. Self-fertile. Zones 4-8.
