Amelanchier alnifolia var. semiintegrifolia, commonly known as Pacific Serviceberry, Saskatoon Serviceberry, or Western Serviceberry, is a deciduous perennial shrub or small tree native to the open woods, forest edges, and streambanks of Western North America. It typically grows at a moderate rate to a height and width of 4-10 feet (1.2-3 meters). This species is characterized by its upright, multi-stemmed form and its white, showy flowers that bloom in early spring, followed by small, purplish-black, edible berries in the summer. The leaves are oval and turn yellow to red in the fall, providing seasonal interest.

Pacific Serviceberry is valued for its ornamental flowers, edible fruit, and attractive fall foliage. It is used in naturalized plantings, as a border shrub, or for wildlife gardens, where it provides food for birds and other animals. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay or loam, and prefers well-drained conditions. While it tolerates both full sun and part shade, flowering and fruiting are best in sunnier locations. Drought tolerance once established makes it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. However, it can be susceptible to rust and leaf spot diseases, and fire blight can be a concern.CC BY-SA 4.0
