Amelanchier alnifolia. A beloved native shrub with a long history of ethnobotanical uses by indigenous peoples, Serviceberry is cherished for it's spring flowers in it's summer berries. Serviceberry is a large shrub or small, multi-stemmed tree growing to a mature height of 15 feet. It can also be maintained as a tall, edible hedge. The delicious and antioxidant packed fruit is ripe when it is dark blue but can be picked ahead of ripening (to get some before the birds) and will continue to ripen off the tree.
The roots can spread via runners, creating a nice edible hedge. Or, dig the runners and give them to neighbors to grow. Likes dry or moist soils in full sun to part sun locations.
Grown by Puget Sound Plants, Snohomish
