This small tree thrives through all four seasons and offers so much to any garden. Abundant white blooms in spring are followed by delicious berries in summer, fiery foliage in fall, and silver bark in winter. Here's more info from Wikipedia - "Amelanchier also known as shadbush, shadwood or shadblow, serviceberry or sarvisberry, or just sarvis, juneberry, saskatoon, sugarplum or wild-plum, and chuckley pear is a genus of about 20 species of deciduous-leaved shrubs and small trees in the Rose family." All the names involving "shad" came about because it blooms when the shad run in the spring.

Good details on the flowers and a good bokeh to go with it Kathy.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
For the ones who like to read more detailed information about the Amelanchier, here's the link.
A pretty unknown shrub/tree to me. I know that its Dutch name is 'krentenboom' (when literally translated: 'currant tree'). I don't know however whether the Dutch have given it its (nick)name because of the shape or taste of the berries.
