Chokeberry 'Smokey'
FamilyRosaceae
Amelanchier alnifolia 'Smokey', or 'Smokey' serviceberry, is an old and renowned fruiting cultivar known for its exceptionally sweet and juicy berries, among the most flavorful of the species. Its bushy and rounded habit, combined with abundant white blossoms in spring, makes it an ornamental as well as a productive shrub. Its medium green foliage turns yellow to orange in autumn, extending its visual appeal throughout the seasons. Highly appreciated by birds, it integrates perfectly into informal hedges, natural orchards, or edible beds, where it offers abundance, hardiness, and versatility. 'Smokey' is a reliable choice for gardeners looking to harvest large, tasty fruits while promoting biodiversity.
