Amelanchier arborea
The Downy Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) is a small, deciduous tree or large shrub native to North America, often found in forests, woodlands, and along streambanks. It typically grows 15–25 feet tall with an upright, rounded form. The tree is admired for its early spring display of delicate, white, star-shaped flowers, which appear before the leaves. Its oval, finely serrated leaves emerge with a downy texture, turning bright yellow to red in the fall. In summer, the tree produces small, edible, berry-like fruits that transition from green to red to purple, attracting birds and wildlife. The Downy Serviceberry is prized for its ornamental beauty, adaptability, and ecological value.
