(Amelanchier alnifolia 'Obelisk')
Standing Ovation™ could be called a crossover artist - a fruiting shrub applauded in the landscaping league. This First Editions® selection is basically a saskatoon with a tidy, columnar shape. It's upright, perfectly oval form is attractive even during winter. In spring the bush becomes a mass of fringy snow-white flowers. A regular saskatoon or another serviceberry in the vicinity will do wonders to increase the berry crops for birds or bakers. Outstanding orange-red fall colour is an added bonus. Standing Ovation™ works equally well as an accent plant or a narrow privacy hedge. Mature size - 4.6m (15') × 1.2m (4')
