Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Amelanchier arborea, also known as downy serviceberry or common serviceberry, is a native tree found in eastern North America. It can grow up to 20 meters tall and has smooth gray bark. Its leaves are ovate or elliptical with serrated margins and emerge downy on the underside. In early spring, it produces white flowers on pendulous racemes, which are pollinated by bees. The fruit, a reddish-purple pome, ripens in summer and is popular with over 40 species of birds and various mammals. This tree also commonly hybridizes with other species of Amelanchier, making identification difficult. It can tolerate varying light levels and requires good drainage and air circulation. The fruit is edible and has been used for pies, jams, and wine. Some report that the sweetened juice tastes like Dr. Pepper, but the fruit is not used in the soft drink.
