An early-blooming, 15-to-25-foot-tall woody shrub or multi-stemmed tree native to Eastern North America. Its delicate white flowers bloom in April before leaves appear, and small, edible red berries, which mature to purple, appear in June. In fall, the tree’s foliage turns a brilliant orange-red, and its gray bark provides lovely winter interest, giving it true four-season appeal. Plant it in part sun or shade in moist, well-draining soil. It does not tolerate salt or drought well.

This 2007 image provided by Bugwood.org shows an Amelanchier laevis Allegheny serviceberry tree. (Richard Webb/Bugwood.org via AP)This tree has similar attributes, minus the gray bark, and grows to 15-to-20-feet tall. The Eastern North American native is often found in swampy areas, but can tolerate somewhat sunnier and drier sites than the Allegheny species. Hardy in zones 4-7.Reaches heights of 15-25 feet, and is notable for its large berries and sun tolerance, although it will also thrive in shade. Its native range spans from Eastern North America west to Quebec and Nebraska. Hardy in zones 4-9.

Among the most drought-tolerant of the bunch. Native from Montana south to Texas and west to the Pacific Coast, it reaches 6-15 feet tall and displays yellow fall foliage. Hardy in zones 5-8.Multi-stemmed, shrubby varieties can be trained to grow as trees by pruning away all but one (preferably straight) central trunk when the plants are young. All varieties tend to sucker (sending up small shoots), some more than others; leave them be to grow a shrubby screen or cut them at ground level as needed (once or twice annually) to maintain a tidier appearance.

Either way, Amelanchiers will service your garden well.

Hailing from Kaua’i, Agudong also came to the role from an open casting call. Being part of the film has been a special experience as a lifelong fan of the animated version and a proud Hawaii resident.“Hawaii’s very much like tough love and soft heart,” Agudong said. “We truly created a family and hopefully people can see that.”
