Round-leaved serviceberry (Amelanchier sanguinea) is a versatile native shrub or small tree that dazzles with white spring blossoms and offers edible berries attractive to birds in summer. It adapts well to part shade and average soil moisture, making it a great wildlife-friendly addition to naturalized gardens and woodland edges. Minimal pruning is needed; simply remove dead or crossing branches in late winter to maintain a tidy shape.
