This category is native serviceberries, chosen for genuinely edible early-summer fruit as much as for their reliable white spring bloom, not the citrus and stone fruit most people picture under "fruit tree." Birds compete hard for the berries, so net a young plant its first fruiting years if you want a harvest for yourself. Each listing states mature height and hardiness zone; several serviceberry species and varieties are stocked because their range and eventual size differ more than the shared common name suggests. See the coming-soon list below for the stone and pome fruit trees we do not have envelope data for yet.

Questions about fruit & edible
Do serviceberries need a second plant to produce fruit?
Most serviceberry species are self-fertile and will fruit on their own, though planting more than one can improve fruit set; check the specific species listing for anything unusual.
How do you keep birds from taking all the fruit?
Netting the plant just as fruit begins to ripen is the most reliable method; birds typically find ripening berries before a home gardener does.
