The #AutumnBrillianceServiceberry brings beauty ac

The #AutumnBrillianceServiceberry brings beauty across all seasons, which makes it one of our favorite trees at the nursery! With delicate white spring flowers followed by edible red fruits in June, to a fiery red-orange glow in the fall and smooth gray branches adding winter interest along with a strong structure that resists ice breakage the Serviceberry is a versatile and excellent Midwest Native tree. Serviceberry performs well in our field; we grow both single trunk and multi-stem versions. It has a slow start as a young plant but it finishes strong. The single trunk form takes a little longer to caliper up than the multi-stem. We love how this tree has something interesting to offer in every season – especially in the summer when the berries are a nice treat in the field!

If you’re able to go out and harvest the berries there’s lots of delicious desserts and jams you can make with them to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Once ripe, Serviceberry is, “reminiscent of the blueberry enhanced by the almond flavor of the seeds, [with] a sweet, nutty taste,” so you can substitute them into cobbler, crisps, muffins, and pies. We made this delicious fridge jam to eat with breakfast, warmed brie and crackers, and plan to mix it into ice cream to make a fruity homemade ice cream sandwich.

There is a lot of interesting research and discussion out there about the history and future of the Serviceberry tree and its fruits. We encourage you to keep learning more about this Midwest Native tree we all know and love, and try out some of the recipes or uses for yourself! Let us know if you make or bake anything delicious with your Serviceberries, or if you just like to appreciate the seasonal beauty of this SGN Tried-and-True tree! Little Fern said it best while berry picking: “Ooooooooo BERRIES!”

Joey snapped these rainbow pics at the nursery earlier tonight after we had a nice surprise burst of rain to top off a hot day! Grateful for rain, for our trees, and for summer growth! 🌳💚🌈🌦️
