“THE AMELANCHIERS”
A very useful group of ornamental flowering trees. Well over thirty common (nonscientific) names apply. Among them are Sarvistree, Serviceberry, Shadblow, Juneberry,
Downy Shadblow, Sugar Plum, May Cherry, Lancewood trees, etc.
Amelanchier can be planted as a specimen tree, either as a clump, or single stem
standing alone in any choice lawn area. They often are used to ‘frame’ a home or building,
by planting them at the corners, either front or rear, or at an offset with a complimentary
basal planting.
In very early Spring before any leaves appear on itself or surrounding trees, Sarvistrees
burst into flower. Almost every small sprig and branch appear covered with attractive,
dainty, white blossoms. Sarvistrees can be observed in full flower in woodland areas all
around Ohio, and give us the first breath of Spring in early April. Flowers are not subject
to winter kill or frosts, or freeze damage, they are self-pollinating. Both male and female
flowers are borne on the same tree.
Fruits botanically are not berries, they are ‘pomes’ or ‘little apples’. Since they are
small, however, they often are called berries. Sarvistree berries bear every year, begin
ripening by the end of June (hence the name Juneberry) and by early July become reddishmaroon in color, are about one quarter to one half inch in diameter, and cause the branches
to bend because of their weight. Sarvistree fruits are recognized as a favorite food for just
eating right off the tree, are delicious fresh frozen, or in pies, tarts, puddings, or in muffins.
The native American Indians used the Amelanchier (they called them Lancewood trees)
as one of their favorite edible fruits. The fruits were harvested by the women, and were eaten
fresh or dried and mixed with dried meats of several kinds (primarily buffalo) and made into
a loaf (like meatloaf) and were dried and kept into the winter. They called this 'parmesion'.
The Raymond Nelson Nursery prior to 1976, showed the following food analysis of
Sarvisberries: Thiamine B-1 content, 8.16 mcg per 100 grams. (Fluorimetric Assay):
Vitamin C content, 52.85 mg per 100 grams (Idometric Assay). This means that the Vitamin
C content is the highest listed on tree charts, even surpassing citrus fruits.
This is probably why over 50 species of birds are attracted to eating of this fruit in June.
The little pomes of the Sarvistree are the first fruits to ripen and this nourishment is an
attraction, just when the birds are busy nesting and rearing their young. The National
Audobon Society recommends the planting of fruit producing trees, such as the Sarvistree
to attract birds.
The wood of the Sarvistree is the heaviest wood that grows in the United States outside
the tropics and is equalled only by one other tree. It weighs dry 53 pounds per cubic foot.
Its strength is outstanding. Its wood was used for the making of battle lances, and it was
occasionally referred to as ‘lancewood’. It takes a beautiful polish. Wood technologists
list the Sarvistree among the top American trees in their technical ratings of ‘modulus of
rupture’, ‘resistance to indentation’ and ‘resistance to longitudinal pressure’. Sarviswood
is the fifth hardest wood that grows in the United States. In resistance to breakage by ice,
snow, or winds, the Sarvistree will stand unbroken long after other trees have gone down.

Amelanchier arborea, DOWNY SERVICEBERRY (15-25')
Generally referred to as the tree form of Amelanchier canadensis. Leaves open
grayish, tomentose, densely wooly, with soft matted hairs when emerging, and change to
a medium green in summer. Fall color varies from yellow to apricot-orange, with a tinge
towards either deep red or lighter yellow. Some describe its color as an ‘exquisite soft red’.
Some landscape architects recommend its planting simply because of the beauty of their
autumn foliage. CULTURE: Will grow almost anywhere, but prefers an acid soil. pH 4.0 to
8.0. Sun or partial shade. Zone 4.

Amelanchier canadensis, SHADBLOW SERVICEBERRY (15' in 20 years)
Also called Downy Shadblow or Juneberry. The first ornamental tree to flower in early
Spring. Precedes Acer rubrum about two weeks. When nothing else is in leaf or flower,
there are the Amelanchiers, showing their racemes of small white flowers quite abundantly. Flowers are followed by grayish-green slender leaves opening 7-14 days after
flowers. A see-through openly branched ornamental tree of considerable merit. Light
gray-green summer foliage turns predominantly yellow with blushes of red in mid
October. Medium gray bark attractively presents an informal appearance in Winter. Slow
growing, a 20' tree would be about 30 years old. Prefers to grow tree form, but clumps
develop by cutting back when young. Most clump forms are sold in the nursery trade are
actually crossed with Amelanchier laevis and grandiflora. June bearing, maroon-purple
fruit is edible. Fruits are 2/5" long, are black to maroon-purple, juicy, and are a favorite,
and considered to be highly flavored and nourishing. Flavor is a cross between a plum
and a blueberry, very tasty! CULTURE: Prefers pH of 4.0 to 6.5, but tolerates soils to 8.0.
Sun or partial shade. Zone 4.

Special large specimen clumps, too large at the base to get a tree spade
around, must be hand dug and hogwired. Many of our Amelanchiers over
16' are unique, many have a shape or form all of their own and lend
themselves well into modern designs. Some have 3 stems, others 4, 5, or
a few have 6-15 stems each, some are low branched and others are higher
branched.

Amelanchier canadensis ‘Nemagazenda’, NEMAGAZENDA SERVICEBERRY
(15 tall x 6' wide in 20 years)
A Wade selection from cold-cold Ontario, Canada. Found on Gilligan’s Island in Red
Pine Lake on the Nemagazenda River. This windy island undergoes -40 to -60 degrees F.
This selection is suspected to be of Amelanchier canadensis and Amelanchier floridus
origin. Very fuzzy buds in early Spring. A good bloomer with excellent fruits. A Brian Wade
selection!
We've been growing this very narrow, upright species for nearly fifteen years now. It
is very hardy and has withstood our cold temperatures here very well. We have noted in
growing this one, that it is very stoloniferous and new erect shoots emerge readily. We
almost called it 'Fuzzy Buds', because the flower buds in January and February are almost
like pussy willow fuzzy buds, except they are more pointed than on the Pussy Willows.

Amelanchier grandiflora ‘Autumn Brilliance’,
AUTUMN BRILLIANCE APPLE SERVICEBERRY
Plant patent #5717. Beautiful large flowers appear in late March before leaves. Flowers
are cold hardy. They never freeze due to low elevation or Spring freezes or frosts. Leaves
are disease resistant, green, turn bright red in Autumn. Fruits are relished in June by all
birds and people alike. Culture: Prefers well drained soils. Tolerate some dryness, but
responds well to summer additions of moisture. pH 4.0 to 6.5. Sun or shade. Zone 3.
We have been growing this selection since 1988 and find it hardy to -50 degrees below
zero F. This is by far our very best Amelanchier! We have grown and planted six to eight
thousand into large field grown trees spaced on 8' x 8' cross-checks.
Most Tree Form trees are headed at 3', 4', and 5' from the ground

Amelanchier x grandiflora ‘Cumulus’, CUMULUS SERVICEBERRY
(25' tall x 15' wide in 20-25 years)
Plant patent #3092. A very lovely small ornamental tree or shrub. Flowers are pure
white, appear before the leaves in very early Spring. Amelanchiers are the first of all
ornamental trees to bloom here. This variety usually grows into a small specimen tree
rather than multi-stem as some other Amelanchiers do. Grows usually upright and has an
open form of growth. Fruits are excellent to eat in June. They are blueberry type berries
and can be eaten right off the tree (that is — if you can beat the robins to them). Fall color
is an excellent orange-red. Culture: Prefers well drained moist soils. pH 5.0 to 6.0. Sun or
partial shade. Zone 4.
We have been growing this variety since 1977 and find them very distinctive with their
narrow, upright growth form. Most are all tree form. A 4 inch caliper tree matures with a 46' standard straight trunk, 18-21' tall and only 7-9' wide in about 15 years.

Amelanchier x grandiflora ‘Princess Diana’,
PRINCESS DIANA SERVICEBERRY
(20' tall x 15' wide in 25 years)
Plant patent #6041. The third member of the new Royal Family of Amelanchiers.
Princess Diana is a graceful small, multi-stemmed or tree form tree with spectacular early
and long lasting fall color. Fruits are 3/8" diameter. Flowers early before leaves appear in
cluster. This variety grows into a small tree and is said to mature at about 18-20' and 15' wide.
It is white flowering, reddish maroon fruits in June, and is distinguished primarily because
of its excellent reddish fall foliage color. Its color is about the same color as Dwarf Burning
Bush (Euonymus alatus compacta). Culture: Prefers well drained, moist soils. pH 5.0 to
6.0. Prefers sun or shade, as do all the Amelanchiers. Zone 3.

Amelanchier laevis, ALLEGHENY SERVICEBERRY (15' in 12-15 years)
(40' in 90 years)
The most common Amelanchier native to Ohio today, and the most widely grown and
sold species in the nursery trade. You will find this variety covered with thousands of dainty
white blossoms here in our woodlands, and dotted around our homes here in early April.
With the planting of this tree on a choice location as a specimen, small ornamental shade
tree, or as a framework tree close by a home or residence, it will challenge the knowledge
of those who observe bird identification, as they partake of its excellent June bearing, blueblack to maroon-red fruit.
Identification features that separate it from other varieties are that the leaves unfold
with a tinge of red, and are slightly glabrous (wooly), as opposed to Amelanchier canadensis,
that are only grayish-green and very wooly.
Light gray winter bark coloring is attractive. Considered to be an outstanding selection
for semi-shaded areas, where an irregular, non-formal, slender branched, strongly ice and
snow resistant against breakage, ornamental tree is required. CULTURE: Prefers 4.0 to 6.5
pH; but tolerates to 8.0. Sun or shade. Zone 4.

Amelanchier laevis 'Prince Charles', PRINCE CHARLES ALLEGHENY SERVICEBERRY
(30' tall x 20' wide)
Plant patent #6039. A member of the Royal Family of Amelanchiers selected from
Amelanchier laevis seedlings by Dr. Ed Hasselkus and Mr. Watson at the University of
Wisconsin Arboretum and patented in 1987.
This Serviceberry grows in shade or partial shade as an understory tree. The small
tree probably grows 25 to 30 feet tall and spreads 15 to 20 feet. Multiple stems are upright
and highly branched forming a dense shrub, or if properly pruned a small tree. The tree is
short-lived, has a rapid growth rate, and can be used as a filler plant or to attract birds. The
main ornamental feature is the white flowers borne in drooping clusters in mid spring before
leaf emergence. The purplish-black edible berries are sweet and juicy but are soon eaten
by birds. The fall color is orange-red. It is well-adapted for planting beneath power lines.

"BIRDS AND AMELANCHIERS"
The National Audobon Society recommends the planting of fruit producing trees
such as the Amelanchiers. Among the species which are attracted by the Amelanchier
fruits are Bluebirds, Cardinals, Chickadees, Flickers, Grosbeaks, Thrushes, Towhees,
Cedar Waxwings, Jays, Mockingbirds, Orioles and Robins. The Red Winged Blackbirds,
Juncos, Morning Doves, Song Sparrows, Vireos, and Warblers are not normally fruit
eaters, but the quality of fruit is such that they are attracted to it.

“THANKSGIVING DAY BREAKFAST TREAT”
Freeze fresh Juneberries without adding sugar. First wash Juneberries well, drain,
then freeze just as they are. Take out, thaw, and make your muffins or Juneberry Pies!
“JUNEBERRY MUFFINS”
1 Cup Fresh Juneberries
2 Cups Sifted Flour
1/3 Cup Sugar (for batter)
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 Cup Milk
4 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 tablespoon sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 fresh eggs
The fruit should be washed and dried on paper towels. Sift the dry ingredients into a
large bowl; combine eggs, milk, and butter into a two-cup measure; add all at once to the
flour mixture. Stir lightly just until batter is mixed (light handling is one of the secrets of
fluffiness). Add berries while a bit of flour still shows; fold in gently, only a few strokes, with
a fork. Spoon batter into greased muffin pan cups; filling each only about 2/3 full. Sprinkle
with a mixture of 1 tablespoon sugar and lemon rind or honey. Bake in 425 degree oven 20
minutes or until golden brown.
“JUNEBERRY PIE”
11/2 Cups Sugar
1/3 Cup Flour
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
4 Cups Juneberries
11/2 tablespoons butter
Usual directions are the same as for most other fresh berry pies. Bake in 425 degree
oven for 10 minutes, then bake an additional 35 minutes at 350 degrees, or until crust is
brown and juice bubbles through the slits in the top of the crust.
Note: The fruits of all Amelanchiers are called ‘Juneberries’ and can be picked in early
June! If you can beat the birds to them!
