The serviceberry tree, Amelanchier lamarckii, also commonly known as "Canadian blueberry" - a highly valued species, both for its decorative appearance and for its sweet, aromatic, delicious fruits.

In spring, Amelanchier lamarckii is covered with delicate, white, star-shaped flowers with a subtle fragrance. In autumn, the foliage creates a true spectacle - the leaves turn shades of red-orange. The plant is often used by renowned designers for concept garden arrangements.
