Planting a Bunch of Echinacea, Asters & a Serviceberry Tree! 🌸🌳🌿

Let me introduce you to a gorgeous showstopper native tree! The Serviceberry family of trees flower in white in the spring, they have red berries for the birds, they have red to orange colored leaves in the fall and they come in both multi stem and single trunk varieties! And unlike the white flowering Callery pear trees, which are invasive, serviceberry trees support hundreds of species of insects and birds! So this tree is just as beautiful and maybe more beautiful, and you get the full ecosys

Serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.) is a less known fruit that is really delicious! I love that they are planted ornamentally because that’s just more wild fruit for everyone. 😀 Have you ever found serviceberry before? #foraging #nature #plantidentification #botany #amelanchier #serviceberry | Feral Foraging
