Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry Tree
Description
About the Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry Tree
Planted for both as an ornamental and for its edible fruit, the Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry is a treasured tree for all seasons. Named for its notable fall color, Autumn Brilliance® is just as spectacular in the spring, with its abundance of showy, white flowers.
The flowers give way to small green berries that gradually deepen into red. They finally mature a deep, rich purple in early summer. Sometimes referred as Juneberry, named for the annual summer time frame of the ripe berries. Other common names for plants in the genus Amelanchier include saskatoon, shadbush, sarvisberry, and sugar plum.
Serviceberries look like large, dark blueberries. You can eat serviceberries raw, bake them in pies or cook them into delicious jams.
The Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry can be pruned as a single stem tree or a multiple stemmed large shrub which is suitable for accent planting or privacy screening. A great choice for a landscape centerpiece, this serviceberry tree has oval shaped, coppery-red leaves, becoming rich green throughout the growing season, and then red again for a fiery fall display.
Plant serviceberry trees in full sun for maximum fruit production. Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry is self-pollinating, but you will have a larger harvest of berries with another serviceberry tree nearby.

Heard they were yummy
It should hold up well in Arizona's hellish summers, will provide shade and edible fruit
I wanted to try the fruit. I enjoy making jams and gifting them for the holidays. This could add a new flavor into the mix... Someday
We are growing a cut flower business and I want these branches for bouquets.
