Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry gains its name for its brick red foliage produced in the fall and succulent summer berries (referred to as juneberries). Leaves are finely toothed and obovate in shape. During the summer they are green, while in the fall they are brilliant orange-red. The trees flowers are white pendant flower clusters that are lightly fragrant. The flowers give way to small, round green berries which turn red and finally mature to a dark purplish black in early summer. Songbirds love to feed on the ripe berries in the winter. The berries resemble blueberries in size, color and taste and are edible. This is a very hardy tree which grows best in full sun and is tolerant of a wide range of soils.
