The native serviceberries, the Amelanchier species, are excellent for pollinators and wildlife and are considered a keystone plant group in eastern North America. Not only are the flowers visited by a huge variety of pollinators, but serviceberries are also host plants and their fruits provide food for birds and wildlife - and even us! I cover four species that are commonly sold by native plant nurseries, give some interesting facts about them and even discuss eating and cooking with them.
