Downy Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) produces a profusion of white flowers in early spring, often before other trees have leafed out, followed by sweet edible berries. It offers attractive gray bark and reliable orange-to-red fall foliage. It blooms in early spring and grows best in full sun, part shade, or shade with moderate, well-drained soil.
