Day 153: serviceberry

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

One of my American friends messaged me a few weeks ago, sounding wryly amused. “The enthusiasm you Brits have for our serviceberry tree!” She’s not wrong – we do tend to appreciate an amelanchier on this side of the pond, and quite rightly too. It’s a hard working shrub that has several seasons of interest, and just now it’s striking a pose – all fresh, green foliage and berries fattening by the day. In a couple of weeks time, it will be full of fat pigeons gorging themselves on the ripening fruit, branches snapping under their weight.
