A serviceberry (genus Amelanchier) is a North American native small tree or shrub known for its beauty in all seasons: early white flowers, edible June-ripening berries (like blueberries/cherries), and vibrant orange/red fall foliage, making it a popular, adaptable landscape plant that also feeds wildlife. Also called Juneberry, Saskatoon, or Shadbush, its sweet, juicy fruit is great for pies, jams, or fresh eating, while its year-round interest and deer resistance make it a valuable garden addition
