Standing Ovation™ (‘Obelisk’) Saskatoon Serviceberry was introduced by Valk Plants of the Netherlands and is part of the First Editions® series. Amelanchier Standing Ovation™ differs from the species by having thicker, rounder leaves on a more upright habit. The white flower racemes appear in April and are followed clumps of purple berries in June which wildlife and people eat enthusiastically. The fall color is shades of orange and red, and the upright habit makes Standing Ovation™ a good candidate for native hedges.
