Serviceberry, Large-fruited 'Northline' / 'Sleyt'

Very hardy and elegant shrub, which blooms early in spring with clusters of snow-white flowers, very useful for bees! After flowering, the clusters produce fairly large, steel-blue berries that are ripe in July. These are sweet and sour and very healthy, delicious in a dessert or processed into juice or jam... This variety yields extra medium-sized and tasty fruits. The plants are self-pollinating, but another variety (e.g. 822607 'Krasnojarskaja') as a neighbour will yield an even better harvest.
