Allegheny Serviceberry

More signs of Spring come along each day! The Allegheny Serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis) that we can see from our Master bedroom deck is in bloom, right on time, the last week of March. We've watched this tree bloom annually since the mid-1980's when it was a little 5 foot sapling. It is now about 20 feet, I would guess, and according to the tree book will max out at 40 feet. This is its annual "15 minutes of fame," as it blends into the rest of the trees the rest of the year.
