Late April and early May sees Juneberry loaded with cloud-like plumes of small white flowers that are followed by delicious blueberry-like fruits starting in June into July. Juneberry is not specific about soil type but it does require moist soil to thrive. This delicious, unusual fruit can be used in pies, jam, wines, cider, beers and sugar-infused berries similar to dried cranberries used for cereals, trail mix and snack foods. High in antioxidants and low in the need for maintenance in the landscape, Juneberry will make an outstanding addition to your edible landscape
