The Utah serviceberry is used for erosion control and as an ornamental plant. The fruits are edible and can be eaten raw or cooked.
Amelanchier utahensis, commonly known as the Utah serviceberry, is a shrub or small tree native to western North America. It grows in varied habitats, from scrubby open slopes to woodlands and forests, and is found in the Colorado–New Mexico–Wyoming Rocky Mountains, Front ranges of Utah, Mogollon Rim and White Mountains (Arizona) region of east Arizona and New Mexico, mountain ranges of the Great Basin, Sierra Nevada, chaparral and woodlands in California, and southwestern Montana with Idaho. It is deciduous, bearing rounded or spade-shaped often toothed green leaves and white flowers, and produces edible pomes. It is generally fire tolerant and sprouts from the root crown when damaged by fire, and is used for erosion control and as an ornamental plant. It is also browsed by desert bighorns, elk, and mule deer, as well as many birds and domesticated livestock.
