If a low-maintenance, multi-seasonal shrub with an upright form is what you’re after, look no further than RAINBOW PILLAR® Serviceberry! Amelanchier canadensis ‘Glennform’, sold as RAINBOW PILLAR®, is a large deciduous shrub or small tree that performs well in a wide range of soil conditions. RAINBOW PILLAR® Serviceberry is taller than the species, typically reaching heights of around 20’ with a width of only around 6’. Small, lightly fragrant, five-petalled white flowers appear from April to May, attracting early spring pollinators and making quite a show in the landscape. Following its bloom time, RAINBOW PILLAR® Serviceberry will produce blackish purple fruits starting in June, which are attractive to birds, and can be eaten raw or processed into jams and jellies for human consumption. It receives its rainbow namesake due to the array of fall colors that take over the foliage, ranging from red, orange, yellow and purple all at once.
