Amelanchier canadensis
Canada serviceberry, shadbush
Showy white flowers bloom in spring just as leaves emerge. After the flowers pass, tasty berries appear. Use for height in mixed borders or foundation plantings. This plant supports numerous butterfly and bird species, with a fall color that puts the invasive burning bush to shame.
