Downy Serviceberry (Amelancheir arborea is among the first trees to bloom in the spring, bursting with beautiful white flowers that festoon the entire canopy.  The lovely veil of blooms gives way to small pome fruits that blush red and then darken to a ripe purple-black in late summer.  These fruits show a large degree of variance in berry quality: some are juicy and sweet-tart - perfect for preserves and baking - while others can be dry and flavorless.  All are in high demand and difficult to pluck before the birds consume them.  This small tree is named for the particularly soft, fuzzy undersides on new leaves.  The foliage turns a coppery or burgundy color in the fall.
