Introducing Amelanchier alnifolia 'Obelisk'—a striking columnar shrub, perfect for tight spaces! Enjoy delicate white spring flowers, summer blue-black berries, and stunning fall foliage that adds year-round interest to your garden. |
Amelanchier alnifolia 'Obelisk' is a cultivar of the serviceberry, a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub or small tree native to western North America. This particular selection, 'Obelisk', has a distinctive upright, columnar growth habit, reaching 15-20 feet tall but only 4-6 feet wide at maturity. The 'Obelisk' cultivar features dark green, oval-shaped leaves that turn brilliant shades of red and orange in the fall. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, the plant is adorned with clusters of delicate, white flowers that give way to small, edible blue-black berries relished by birds and other wildlife. Preferring full sun to partial shade and well-draining, acidic soil, Amelanchier alnifolia 'Obelisk' makes an attractive, space-saving addition to gardens, providing four-season interest with its unique columnar form, spring blooms, summer fruit, and vibrant fall foliage colors.
