Description

Allegheny Serviceberry
Description Allegheny serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis) is a multi-stemmed shrub to small tree. It produces white flowers in the spring and edible berries in the summer that are said to be sweeter and juicier than other serviceberry species, and can be used for foods like jams, pies, and muffins. It attracts pollinators and birds. Allegheny serviceberry has fibrous roots which can help mitigate erosion and runoff.
