Amelanchier arborea ‘Robin Hill’ is an elegant small deciduous tree offering several seasons of interest. Pink buds open to soft pink flowers that fade to white in spring, followed by purple-black berries and warm orange-red autumn foliage. Its upright young habit gradually softens with age, making it an excellent choice for a small to medium garden.
