Allegheny Serviceberry

Amelanchier laevis 15-25' The most common Amelanchier in Maine.

The unique purplish-orange bronzed color of the unfolding leaves on this understory tree is a favorite spring sight. Pendulous white blossoms precede the young leaves and are followed by berries that ripen in midsummer.

Referred to as Shad or Shadbush by old-timers because the blossoms coincide with the spring shad run in certain Maine streams. Likes well-drained acid soils along the edge of fields, streams and roads. Native midwest to eastern U.S. and Canada. Z2. Maine Grown. Indigenous Royalties. (1-3' bare-root plants)
