Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry — 15 Gallon

(Amelanchier × grandiflora ‘Autumn Brilliance’)

Tree Description

The Autumn Brilliance® Serviceberry is one of the finest ornamental small trees for residential landscapes, valued for its four-season beauty and spectacular spring flower display. In early spring, the entire canopy becomes covered in delicate white blossoms, creating a stunning display before the leaves fully emerge.

After flowering, the tree produces small edible berries in early summer that resemble blueberries and are highly attractive to birds and wildlife. The foliage remains a rich green through summer before turning brilliant shades of orange-red in fall, creating one of the most striking autumn displays among small ornamental trees.

These 15-gallon trees establish quickly and develop into a graceful ornamental tree, making them an excellent choice for yards, patios, entryways, and naturalized plantings.
