Serviceberry Bushes

When I moved into my house in 2002, I planted 3 serviceberry bushes.
The reason why I planted them, was because I read about the profuse blossoms they had in the spring.
These days I realize there are more pleasant surprises this unique bush has to offer.
One is that the serviceberries are absolutely delicious in the summer. The birds think so too.
The other neat thing about service berry bushes are that they have spectacular foliage in mid October.

    I made sure to plant a variety of edible bushes and interesting plants in my yard.
    I'm so busy in the garden and yard right now, but I'm enjoying the fruits of my labor.
    Wishing you a wonderful day!
