Smooth Serviceberry 'Lustre'
FamilyRosaceae
Amelanchier laevis ‘Lustre’, also known as smooth serviceberry 'Lustre', is a vigorous and structured selection, renowned for its upright, well-branched habit and lustrous dark green foliage, which is denser than that of the species type. In spring, it is covered in elegant clusters of star-shaped white flowers, followed by edible blue-black fruits, much appreciated by birds. In autumn, its foliage turns warm and flamboyant shades from orange-red to golden yellow, providing lasting visual interest. Very hardy and easy to maintain, ‘Lustre’ is ideal for solitary plantings, informal hedges, or naturalized orchard projects. It tolerates various soil types as long as they are well-drained, and integrates naturally into Nordic landscape designs with an ecological and aesthetic purpose.
