A common native shrub or small multi-trunked tree often found growing along seasonal streams. Serviceberries provide a touch of autumn color where the leaves turn a lovely butterscotch yellow. The white spring flowers are followed by dark blue-purple fruits coveted by band-tailed pigeons in the wild. Sun to partial shade. Moderate to infrequent water. Many butterflies use this species as a larval host, such as the California hairstreak and the Ceanothus silkmoth. Grows well in a large container.
