First Editions® Standing Ovation™ Serviceberry
The perfect vertical accent for any yard
St. Paul, Minn. (Spring 2010) – If your landscape needs some uplifting appeal check out First
Editions® Standing Ovation™ Serviceberry. This serviceberry features a narrow silhouette that adds
height to any garden space. Its compact size and uniform habit makes it a great choice for smaller yards.
Standing Ovation's round leaves start out a dark green changing to yellow and orange as fall sets in. Its stems are flush with white flowers in the spring that occasionally turn into edible berries in June. All these features combine to make Standing Ovation a spectacular accent shrub or hedge.
Look for Standing Ovation Serviceberry at garden centers in spring 2010.
