As a Wisconsin native with ornamental value Allegheny Serviceberry is a tree of many talents. Many parts of Allegheny Serviceberry are useful to wildlife. The flowers bloom early in the spring, providing one of the first food resources to insects that are just starting to come out of a long winter. The subsequent berries, high in vitamins, sugars and anti-oxidants, attract all manner of wildlife. Stems, buds, and leaves are browsed by many. Allegheny Serviceberry is easy to grow. If a single-stem tree is desired then it will need to be pruned for it to be so. Otherwise, no pruning is necessary. The Allegheny Serviceberry ranges in height from 15 to 25 feet tall.
