Description

Saskatoon Serviceberry ‘Regent’ (Amelanchier alnifolia ‘Regent’) brings four-season interest to your landscape in a compact, easy-to-place size. In spring, it flowers in soft white clusters before leaf-out. Early summer follows with blue to purple-black berries that you can harvest for fresh eating or baking, while birds will happily help if you do not. As the season shifts, the foliage finishes with warm fall tones that stand out in mixed borders and naturalistic plantings.

Give your plant full sun for the best bloom and fruit, though it will also perform in part shade. Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly the first season to help it establish a strong root system; after that, provide supplemental water during extended dry spells, especially while fruit is forming. Mulch over the root zone to keep moisture even and to reduce competition from weeds, keeping mulch a few inches back from the stems.

Expect a mature size around 4-6 feet tall with a similar spread. Prune in late winter or just after flowering to remove dead wood and to thin crowded stems for better air flow. If you want a tidy shrub form, selectively remove a few of the oldest stems at the base every year or two. For a more natural thicket, let it fill in and use it as a screen or informal hedge. Harvest berries when they are fully colored and slightly soft; they are sweetest at peak ripeness.
