Amelanchier spicata, also known as the Dwarf Serviceberry or Thicket Shadbush, is a deciduous shrub, typically only growing 3-5 feet tall. It features an abundance of showy white flowers arranged in drooping clusters that bloom in early spring before the leaves emerge. The fruit of this plant, which is actually a type of pome, is edible and rich in iron and copper. These berries, which are around 8mm in diameter, can be eaten raw or cooked and have a sweet, juicy taste with a hint of apple. In the fall, the leaves change to beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and red. This shrub is native to North America and is incredibly hardy. Amelanchier spicata is a fantastic addition to any garden and is perfect for those who want to grow their own fruit. Plant seeds today and enjoy fresh, delicious berries year after year.
