Amelanchier laevis ‘Snow Flakes’ – Smooth Serviceberry
Amelanchier laevis ‘Snow Flakes’, also known as the Smooth Serviceberry, is a compact ornamental tree or large bush with an upright habit. In April, it produces cascades of pure white flowers that stand out against the emerging copper-toned foliage. By summer, the tree bears small edible blackish fruits, and as autumn arrives, the leaves turn a spectacular bronze-red. Its multi-season interest and modest size make it an excellent choice for small gardens, where it serves as a striking feature tree.
