Lamarckii Juneberry 18-inch clump

Also known as serviceberry, saskatoon, shadblow, or shadbush, this native, berry-producing shrub has some of the earliest spring flowers.

Amelanchier lamarckii

In native environments, this is a large understory shrub or small tree growing 15-20 ft tall. Drooping clusters of white, star-shaped flowers appear in early spring before the leaves unfurl. The namesake dark purple/ black berries appear in June and can be used in jams. The leaves turn orange-red in fall.
