General Information
Regent Saskatoon Serviceberry is a hardy shrub, native to the Great Plains region. It is a compact form of the species Serviceberry. In early spring, showy white flowers bloom. These attractive blooms give way to blue fruits that are very attractive to birds. The small, round, green berries turn black as they mature. The berries, which are similar to blueberries in size and appearance, are great for making jellies and pies. Foliage has attractive yellow-orange, red fall color.
