Family Rosaceae

Amelanchier alnifolia 'Martin', or 'Martin' serviceberry, is a fruit-bearing cultivar renowned for the generous size of its berries and its particularly abundant harvest. Very ornamental in spring with its light white flower clusters, it forms a dense bush with an upright habit, ideal for edible hedges, naturalized borders, or grove plantings. Its deep green foliage turns a beautiful color in autumn, adding extra visual interest. The fruits, sweet and rich in antioxidants, are perfect for fresh consumption or homemade preserves. Easy to maintain and decorative for three seasons, 'Martin' combines fruitfulness, subtle beauty, and a solid structure, while attracting numerous birds and pollinators to the garden.
