Amelanchier × grandiflora, the serviceberry, is a small deciduous flowering tree or large shrub, a hybrid of garden origin between A. arborea and A. laevis, in the family Rosaceae. It produces white flowers and small red to purple edible fruits.[1]

The Latin specific epithet grandiflora means "large-flowered".[2]

Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use, of which 'Princess Diana'[3] and 'Robin Hill'[4] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
