Amelanchier x grandiflora ‘Autumn Brilliance’

Autumn Brilliance Apple Serviceberry

Zone 4–9. 20–25' H × 15–20' W. Single and multi stem; slow growing on a par with Fagus, produces purplish-black fruit, bright red fall coloring; thrives in full sun to partial shading; a hybrid between A. arborea and A. laevis, young leaves are purplish and pubescent as compared to A. laevis without pubescent leaves; larger flowers than A. laevis; the nursery trade has brought much confusion to Amelanchier in that the similarities between A. aborea, A laevis, A. canadensis, and A. x grandiflora are many and thus some misnamed plants are available; we believe A. ‘Autumn Brilliance’ is the most commonly requested followed by A. canadensis as a native; the bright white, showy flowers and black fruit produces year round interest.
