Downy serviceberry is a relatively small, easy to grow, deciduous tree native throughout the East. It occurs along streams, at woodland edges, rocky slopes and occasionally on dry ridge tops. In the landscape, this species offers nearly year-round interest and is perfect for naturalizing at the edge of woodlands. It has showy clusters of white flowers in spring. In June, edible berry-like fruit matures to purple-black. Fall leaves turn yellow, orange, apricot or red, giving a colorful show. This genus support up to 119 species of lepidoptera.
