Autumn Brilliance Apple Serviceberry is a small multi-trunked deciduous tree prized for its fall color and edible berries. The finely toothed dark green leaves emerge with a bronze tint and earn brilliant orange-red shades in fall. Clusters of fragrant white flowers give way to small purplish-black fruit often used in jams and jellies. Grows best in moist, well-drained soils. Excellent disease resistance.

Amelanchier arborea and its cultivars are hosts for the Red-Spotted Purple and Viceroy butterflies. It has good value for the wildlife, with its flowers providing nectar for bees and hummingbirds and the berries favored by songbirds and mammals.
