Why it rocks:
Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry is hands down the superstar of ornamental trees! This fabulous fusion of Downy and Allegheny Serviceberry takes the best traits from both, creating a tree that is nothing short of spectacular! Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry shows off throughout three seasons, showcasing fragrant spring blossoms, blueberry-like edible fruit, and brilliant fall foliage. In spring, the branches are adorned with small, crisp white flowers featuring five petals and yellow centers. As summer arrives, these flowers give way to delicious, blueberry-like fruit that both people and wildlife delight in. Birds tend to eat up the fruit before they have a chance to fall, making this tree less messy overall. Be sure to get to them before the birds— try them in jam, pies, or smoothies! In autumn, this tree reveals its true brilliance as its medium green leaves transform into a stunning array of reds, oranges, and yellows. There is so much to admire about this beautiful and functional tree. If you want to add charm, beauty, and privacy to your space, Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry is the tree for you!
