Re: [SG] Amelanchier

Thanks for the info, Gene. I want the one that gets to be 6-7 feet tall
and is a shrub. Does anyone know what the species name would be? I would
appreciate knowing for sure.

I love the way the bark looks on the shadblows, which I guess is the name
that only Hoosiers use for these trees and shrubs. Glad to see you say
shadblow too! I keep having to tell people I mean serviceberry. Isn't
Juneberry another name for them?
