Description
Serviceberry Allegheny is a stunning ornamental tree that delivers year-round beauty with its seasonal transformations. In early spring, it bursts into bloom with delicate, fragrant white flowers that add a fresh and elegant splash to the landscape. By summer, it produces small, sweet, dark purple berries that are excellent for fresh eating, baking, or making jams. The finely textured green foliage provides a polished backdrop throughout the growing season before turning a magnificent blend of orange, red, and gold in fall. With its tidy branching structure and multi-season interest, this tree is one of the finest choices for naturalized plantings, borders, or as a refined focal point in the landscape.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and encourage healthy growth; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in late winter if shaping is needed or to remove dead wood
With its stunning spring blooms, edible summer berries, and bold fall color, Serviceberry Allegheny is a grand addition to any landscape, offering structure, seasonal brilliance, and a fresh burst of natural beauty.
