A serviceberry (genus Amelanchier) is a native North American small tree or large shrub known for its early spring white flowers, edible berries (also called Juneberries or Saskatoon berries), and beautiful fall color, offering year-round interest and being a vital food source for wildlife and pollinators. Its sweet, purplish-blue fruit tastes like a mix of strawberry, blueberry, and almond, making it great for eating fresh or in pies, jams, and muffins.
