The Beautiful Serviceberry (Amelanchier amabilis) is a deciduous shrub or small tree that belongs to the same family as the wild pear. It can reach up to 6 meters height and blooms white flowers in clusters during spring. It is native to western North America, growing from British Colombia to California and Oregon. Its feathery foliage is composed of small, round-toothed, glossy leaves that turn yellow and red in autumn. Its small fruits are a great food source for birds and small mammals and they also provide an excellent jam ingredient. The Beautiful Serviceberry is a great choice for gardens, it is disease and pest resistant, and it is easy to take care of.
