Amelanchier x. 'Autumn Brilliance'
Choose Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry if you want a native ornamental tree with spring flowers, berries, and strong fall color. The tradeoff: birds love the fruit, so expect some berry drop near patios, walks, or cars.

- You want a native ornamental tree.
- You like birds and seasonal change.
- You have room for a spreading form.
Skip This If
- You need an evergreen screen.
- Fruit drop will bother you.

PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | It gives you spring bloom, summer berries, fall color, and smooth bark without feeling too heavy. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace, but it is not the tree to buy for instant size. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on light shaping and some berry cleanup if it is planted near hard surfaces. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | It has useful deer resistance for many New England yards, though no ornamental tree is completely ignored. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It fits many residential landscapes, but the spreading habit needs breathing room. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can soften a view in season, but it will not block like a dense evergreen. |

Customers Usually Ask
Are the berries edible?
Yes, but birds usually get to them quickly.
Is it better as single-stem or multi-stem?
Multi-stem looks more natural; single-stem feels cleaner near lawns.
Will it work near a patio?
Only if you are comfortable with some seasonal berry mess.
We grow and source ornamental trees selected specifically for New England performance — not just appearance, but reliability, structure, and long-term success in local conditions.
