Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt. Rosaceae. WESTERN SERVICE BERRY. North America. In Oregon and Washington, the berries are largely employed as a food by the Indians. [1] [2] The fruit is much larger than that of the eastern service berry; growing in favorable localities, each berry is full half an inch in diameter and very good to eat.
