Amelanchier canadensis (Canadian Serviceberry) is a dense, upright, multi-stemmed large shrub or small tree with a delicate, done-shaped crown. In mid-spring, attractive erect sprays of small, slightly fragrant, white, star-shaped flowers emerge just before the leaves. Attractive to pollinators, they are followed by small, edible, blue-black berries in early summer. The berries are used in jams, jellies, and pies and are appreciated by both birds and humans. The foliage of mid-green, finely toothed, oval leaves turns to brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. The plant remains attractive even after the leaves drop, thanks to its elegant habit and its light gray bark adorned with charcoal-gray striations. A terrific plant with four seasons of interest, to use around ponds, lakes, and streams, or in boggy or marshy ground.
