Amelanchier laevis, also called Allegheny serviceberry, is a small, deciduous, typically multi-trunked tree or large shrub which is native to thickets, open woods, and forest understories and edges in Eastern North America where it usually grows to 15-25' tall. Like other serviceberries, Amelanchier laevis produces showy, slightly fragrant, white flowers in clusters which appear in the spring before the plant's leaves emerge with a bronzish-purple tinge in spring, which mature to lustrous dark green in summer and red-orange in fall. Flowers are attractive to all sorts of pollinators.

Allegheny serviceberry fruits are small, blue to purple-black edible berries, commonly used in jams and pies, and are also highly valued by songbirds and small mammals. Somewhat sensitive to drought, but prefers moist, acidic, well-drained loamy soils, but will tolerate a range of soil types. Amelanchier laevis has wide tolerance of light, and can be used in the home garden in a variety of ways mimicking its natural habitat.

Amelanchier laevis is available in single-stem and multi-stem varieties. The single-stem selection is the perfect start to maintaining Amelanchier laevis as a small tree rather than a shrub, whereas multi-stem serviceberry is a great choice for shrub or hedge maintenance.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
