Serviceberry
Beauty, Berries & Four-Season Appeal
Looking for a shrub or small tree that truly does it all? The serviceberry bush is one of the most versatile plants you can add to your garden or landscape.
Why gardeners love it:
Spring: Covered in clouds of delicate white blossoms, buzzing with pollinators.
Summer: Produces delicious, blueberry-like fruit — perfect for fresh eating, jams, or sharing with the birds (who absolutely love them!).
Fall: A showstopper with fiery red, orange, and gold foliage.
Winter: Smooth gray bark and elegant form provide structure and beauty year-round.
How to use serviceberries in the garden:
Plant them in groupings for dramatic displays of spring flowers and fall color, while also creating a natural privacy screen.
Use them to divide spaces in the garden or soften property lines.
Grow as a specimen shrub or small tree for four-season interest.
Establish them in rows for windbreaks or along slopes for erosion control.
Add them to wildlife-friendly gardens — their fruit and shelter attract songbirds and pollinators.
Perfect for edible landscaping, offering both beauty and a summer berry harvest.
Hardy, adaptable, and low-maintenance, serviceberries thrive in a range of soils and settings. Whether you’re planting for privacy, wildlife, or a tasty harvest, the serviceberry brings it all together — truly a gem in any garden landscape.
