6’ (175 cm) bareroot tree

Zone: 4
Mature height: 16′ (5 m)
Mature spread: 14′ (4 m)

Hybrid cross of two native serviceberries
Produces some of the largest white, star-like blossoms of any serviceberry cultivar, in dense nodding racemes that appear before or as leaves emerge
Foliage emerges with a bronze tint in spring, transitions to a deep glossy green in summer, and turns a vivid cardinal red, purple, or bronze-purple in autumn
Produces small, edible berries that ripen from red to dark purple-black in early summer; taste similar to a blueberry-raspberry cross, loved by birds
Thrives in full sun to partial shade; full sun maximizes fruit and flower production
Prefers cool, average-to-moist, well-drained soils, but adapts well to various soil types and pH levels
