“THE AMELANCHIERS”

A very useful group of ornamental flowering trees. Well over thirty common (nonsci-

entific) names apply. Among them are Sarvistree, Serviceberry, Shadblow, Juneberry,

Downy Shadblow, Sugar Plum, May Cherry, Lancewood trees, etc.

Amelanchier can be planted as a specimen tree, either as a clump, or single stem

standing alone in any choice lawn area. They often are used to ‘frame’ a home or building,

by planting them at the corners, either front or rear, or at an offset with a complimentary

basal planting.

In very early Spring before any leaves appear on itself or surrounding trees, Sarvistrees

burst into flower. Almost every small sprig and branch appear covered with attractive,

dainty, white blossoms. Sarvistrees can be observed in full flower in woodland areas all

around Ohio, and give us the first breath of Spring in early April. Flowers are not subject

to winter kill or frosts, or freeze damage, they are self-pollinating. Both male and femaleflowers are borne on the same tree.

Fruits botanically are not berries, they are ‘pomes’ or ‘little apples’. Since they aresmall, however, they often are called berries. Sarvistree berries bear every year, beginripening by the end of June (hence the name Juneberry) and by early July become reddish-maroon in color, are about one quarter to one half inch in diameter, and cause the branchesto bend because of their weight. Sarvistree fruits are recognized as a favorite food for justeating right off the tree, are delicious fresh frozen, or in pies, tarts, puddings, or in muffins.

The native American Indians used the Amelanchier (they called them Lancewood trees)as one of their favorite edible fruits. The fruits were harvested by the women, and were eatenfresh or dried and mixed with dried meats of several kinds (primarily buffalo) and made intoa loaf (like meatloaf) and were dried and kept into the winter. They called this 'parmesion'.

The Raymond Nelson Nursery prior to 1976, showed the following food analysis ofSarvisberries: Thiamine B-1 content, 8.16 mcg per 100 grams. (Fluorimetric Assay):Vitamin C content, 52.85 mg per 100 grams (Idometric Assay). This means that the Vitamin

C content is the highest listed on tree charts, even surpassing citrus fruits.

This is probably why over 50 species of birds are attracted to eating of this fruit in June.The little pomes of the Sarvistree are the first fruits to ripen and this nourishment is an

attraction, just when the birds are busy nesting and rearing their young. The NationalAudobon Society recommends the planting of fruit producing trees, such as the Sarvistree

to attract birds.

The wood of the Sarvistree is the heaviest wood that grows in the United States outside

the tropics and is equalled only by one other tree. It weighs dry 53 pounds per cubic foot.Its strength is outstanding. Its wood was used for the making of battle lances, and it was

occasionally referred to as ‘lancewood’. It takes a beautiful polish. Wood technologistslist the Sarvistree among the top American trees in their technical ratings of ‘modulus of

rupture’, ‘resistance to indentation’ and ‘resistance to longitudinal pressure’. Sarviswood

is the fifth hardest wood that grows in the United States. In resistance to breakage by ice,snow, or winds, the Sarvistree will stand unbroken long after other trees have gone down.

Amelanchier arborea, DOWNY SERVICEBERRY (15-25')

Generally referred to as the tree form of Amelanchier canadensis. Leaves open

grayish, tomentose, densely wooly, with soft matted hairs when emerging, and change to

a medium green in summer. Fall color varies from yellow to apricot-orange, with a tinge

towards either deep red or lighter yellow. Some describe its color as an ‘exquisite soft red’.

Some landscape architects recommend its planting simply because of the beauty of their

autumn foliage. CULTURE: Will grow almost anywhere, but prefers an acid soil. pH 4.0 to

8.0. Sun or partial shade. Zone 4.

Amelanchier canadensis, SHADBLOW SERVICEBERRY (15' in 20 years)

Also called Downy Shadblow or Juneberry. The first ornamental tree to flower in early

Spring. Precedes Acer rubrum about two weeks. When nothing else is in leaf or flower,

there are the Amelanchiers, showing their racemes of small white flowers quite abun-

dantly. Flowers are followed by grayish-green slender leaves opening 7-14 days after

flowers. A see-through openly branched ornamental tree of considerable merit. Light

gray-green summer foliage turns predominantly yellow with blushes of red in mid

October. Medium gray bark attractively presents an informal appearance in Winter. Slow

growing, a 20' tree would be about 30 years old. Prefers to grow tree form, but clumps

develop by cutting back when young. Most clump forms are sold in the nursery trade are

actually crossed with Amelanchier laevis and grandiflora. June bearing, maroon-purple

fruit is edible. Fruits are 2/5" long, are black to maroon-purple, juicy, and are a favorite,

and considered to be highly flavored and nourishing. Flavor is a cross between a plum

and a blueberry, very tasty! CULTURE: Prefers pH of 4.0 to 6.5, but tolerates soils to 8.0.

Special large specimen clumps, too large at the base to get a tree spade

around, must be hand dug and hogwired. Many of our Amelanchiers over16' are unique, many have a shape or form all of their own and lend

themselves well into modern designs. Some have 3 stems, others 4, 5, or

a few have 6-15 stems each, some are low branched and others are higher

branched.

Amelanchier canadensis ‘Nemagazenda’, NEMAGAZENDA SERVICEBERRY

(15 tall x 6' wide in 20 years)

A Wade selection from cold-cold Ontario, Canada. Found on Gilligan’s Island in Red

Pine Lake on the Nemagazenda River. This windy island undergoes -40 to -60 degrees F.This selection is suspected to be of Amelanchier canadensis and Amelanchier floridusorigin. Very fuzzy buds in early Spring. A good bloomer with excellent fruits. A Brian Wadeselection!

We've been growing this very narrow, upright species for nearly fifteen years now. Itis very hardy and has withstood our cold temperatures here very well. We have noted ingrowing this one, that it is very stoloniferous and new erect shoots emerge readily. Wealmost called it 'Fuzzy Buds', because the flower buds in January and February are almostlike pussy willow fuzzy buds, except they are more pointed than on the Pussy Willows.

Amelanchier x grandiflora ‘Cumulus’, CUMULUS SERVICEBERRY

(25' tall x 15' wide in 20-25 years)

Plant patent #3092. A very lovely small ornamental tree or shrub. Flowers are pure

white, appear before the leaves in very early Spring. Amelanchiers are the first of all

ornamental trees to bloom here. This variety usually grows into a small specimen tree

rather than multi-stem as some other Amelanchiers do. Grows usually upright and has an

open form of growth. Fruits are excellent to eat in June. They are blueberry type berries

and can be eaten right off the tree (that is — if you can beat the robins to them). Fall color

is an excellent orange-red. Culture: Prefers well drained moist soils. pH 5.0 to 6.0. Sun or

partial shade. Zone 4.

We have been growing this variety since 1977 and find them very distinctive with their

narrow, upright growth form. Most are all tree form. A 4 inch caliper tree matures with a 4-

6' standard straight trunk, 18-21' tall and only 7-9' wide in about 15 years.

Amelanchier x grandiflora ‘Princess Diana’,

PRINCESS DIANA SERVICEBERRY

(20' tall x 15' wide in 25 years)

Plant patent #6041. The third member of the new Royal Family of Amelanchiers.

Princess Diana is a graceful small, multi-stemmed or tree form tree with spectacular early

and long lasting fall color. Fruits are 3/8" diameter. Flowers early before leaves appear in

cluster. This variety grows into a small tree and is said to mature at about 18-20' and 15' wide.

It is white flowering, reddish maroon fruits in June, and is distinguished primarily because

of its excellent reddish fall foliage color. Its color is about the same color as Dwarf Burning

Bush (Euonymus alatus compacta). Culture: Prefers well drained, moist soils. pH 5.0 to

6.0. Prefers sun or shade, as do all the Amelanchiers. Zone 3.

Amelanchier laevis, ALLEGHENY SERVICEBERRY (15' in 12-15 years)

(40' in 90 years)

The most common Amelanchier native to Ohio today, and the most widely grown and

sold species in the nursery trade. You will find this variety covered with thousands of dainty

white blossoms here in our woodlands, and dotted around our homes here in early April.

With the planting of this tree on a choice location as a specimen, small ornamental shade

tree, or as a framework tree close by a home or residence, it will challenge the knowledge

of those who observe bird identification, as they partake of its excellent June bearing, blue-

black to maroon-red fruit.

Identification features that separate it from other varieties are that the leaves unfold

with a tinge of red, and are slightly glabrous (wooly), as opposed to Amelanchier canadensis,

that are only grayish-green and very wooly.

Light gray winter bark coloring is attractive. Considered to be an outstanding selection

for semi-shaded areas, where an irregular, non-formal, slender branched, strongly ice and

snow resistant against breakage, ornamental tree is required. CULTURE: Prefers 4.0 to 6.5

pH; but tolerates to 8.0. Sun or shade. Zone 4.

“THANKSGIVING DAY BREAKFAST TREAT”

Freeze fresh Juneberries without adding sugar. First wash Juneberries well, drain,

then freeze just as they are. Take out, thaw, and make your muffins or Juneberry Pies!

“JUNEBERRY MUFFINS”

1 Cup Fresh Juneberries

2 Cups Sifted Flour

1/3 Cup Sugar (for batter)

1 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoon baking powder

1 Cup Milk

4 tablespoons butter (melted)

1 tablespoon sugar (for topping)1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

2 fresh eggs

The fruit should be washed and dried on paper towels. Sift the dry ingredients into alarge bowl; combine eggs, milk, and butter into a two-cup measure; add all at once to theflour mixture. Stir lightly just until batter is mixed (light handling is one of the secrets offluffiness). Add berries while a bit of flour still shows; fold in gently, only a few strokes, witha fork. Spoon batter into greased muffin pan cups; filling each only about 2/3 full. Sprinklewith a mixture of 1 tablespoon sugar and lemon rind or honey. Bake in 425 degree oven 20minutes or until golden brown.

“JUNEBERRY PIE”

11/2 Cups Sugar1/3 Cup Flour

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

4 Cups Juneberries11/2 tablespoons butter

Usual directions are the same as for most other fresh berry pies. Bake in 425 degree

oven for 10 minutes, then bake an additional 35 minutes at 350 degrees, or until crust isbrown and juice bubbles through the slits in the top of the crust.

Note: The fruits of all Amelanchiers are called ‘Juneberries’ and can be picked in early

June! If you can beat the birds to them!

Fresh Juneberry pie is a

delicious and nutricious

treat! This one was baked

by Steve Karbula.

Fresh Juneberry pie

tastes like a cross of

blueberries and

Santa Rosa plums

(ripe). It rivals elder-

berry, raspberry and

blackberry pie!

Fresh picked Juneber-

ries are delicious with

milk and sugar or in

cereals. This bowl full

was picked by Van. The

ripest ones areblack,

but even the red or

lighter colored ones are

very tasty!
