ALLEGHENG SERVICEBERRY A small, deciduous, usually
multi-trunk under story tree or tall shrub which is native to thickets, open
woods, sheltered slopes and wood margins in Eastern North America where it
typically grows 15-25' tall. Features showy, 5-petaled, slightly fragrant,
white flowers in drooping clusters which appear in early spring before the
leaves. Flowers give way to small, round, edible berries which ripen to dark
purplish-black in June (hence the sometimes common name of Juneberry) and
resemble blueberries in size, color and taste. Berries are often used in jams,
jellies and pies. Finely-toothed, obovate leaves emerge with a bronzish-purple
tinge in spring, mature to lustrous dark green in summer and turn red-orange in
fall. Good plant for bird gardens (birds love the berries). Full sun to part
shade.
