This is the flower of the Downy Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) its the first woodland tree to flower in the spring and provides a welcome sign spring is here! Its often called Juneberry because it has tiny berrylike fruits that are available in early June. These berrylike fruits taste nice and make great jams. Downy Serviceberry rarely gets taller than 35 feet under perfect conditions and is usually no more than a tall shrub.
