(Amelanchier x grandiflora 'Autumn Brilliance')
Looking for an ornamental tree that’s compatible with your partial shade yard? Serviceberry is the one for you. This tree has profuse white flowers in early spring, delicious blue berries in early summer, and amazing fall color. Serviceberry is a perfect focal point for any yard. This species is very attractive to deer. If deer visit your property often, prevent excessive browsing while the new tree establishes by using three metal t-post stakes and 5’ welded wire to create a large circular fence around the tree. Maintain fencing and expand circle if needed for the first for 2-3 years.
