100 Seeds Saskatoon Serviceberry Amelanchier alnifolia

Saskatoon Serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) is a hardy deciduous shrub or small tree valued for its clusters of white spring blossoms, edible purple-blue berries, and brilliant fall foliage. Native to North America, it offers multi-season ornamental appeal and dependable production in cold-climate landscapes.

The sweet, juicy berries ripen in early summer and are excellent for fresh eating, jams, jellies, pies, and baked goods. The compact, upright habit works well as a hedge, border shrub, or small specimen tree. Berries develop best with cross-pollination from a second plant.
