Amelanchier x grandiflora 'Autumn Brilliance'

Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry

More vigorous than most, 'Autumn Brilliance' is the result of a naturally occurring cross between arborea and laevis which is normally grown as a multi-stem tree. Clean white flowers cover the tree in spring and are followed by purple-blue edible fruit.  The nice growth habit, heavy flowering, and orange-red to red foliage in the fall make this a popular choice.

Butterflies, bees, and other insects drink nectar from the flowers. Fruits are eaten by songbirds, ruffled grouse, small mammals, and large mammals. 

Can be used as a specimen, in groups, or as a screen. Especially nice along the edge of a woodland or creek.
