Amelanchier laevis (Alleghany serviceberry)

Expected in stock 2027

A beloved multi-trunk tree for landscaping, habitat, and permaculture. Blooms in early spring for a short but stunning week, attracting many native bees. Host plant for over 90 caterpillar species. Cedar waxwings, orioles, and many other birds love the berries. Lovely fall color to boot. You can see why this tree is so popular!

A. laevis is reputed to have the tastiest berries of the serviceberries and is often used to make jam. Only eat plants that you can positively identify.
