Heres a good link for June berry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serviceberry

Pat B:
The berries are very much like blue berries. The problem is that with the trees growing taller than a man it's hard to beat the birds to the berries.  Makes good bow wood also. Don (OldBow) built a service berry bow a few years ago with the western variety. The eastern variety I sent him blew up I believe.    Pat

Seems like the birds sit on the branches and wait for the berrys to ripen. We hardly ever get any off the tree in Dad's yard.  >:(

              Get about 4 rubber snakes at a pet store etc. Drape snakes over top limbs around tree. Birds wont go near tree. Ole' NDN trick was to use skins from dead snakes they found stuffed with grass and draped on tree. Works ;D.........bob

DanaM:
Thanks guys I'm gonna keep an eye on the trees by work and see if I can get some berries.
