Amelanchier pumila
Dwarf serviceberry is a compact, low-growing shrub that produces delicate white flowers in early spring followed by sweet, edible berries beloved by birds and wildlife. It adapts well to a range of soils and light conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and requires little care once established. Prune lightly after fruiting to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches.
