I was thinking today about spring and things my aunt used to say about it... There was a tree that when she saw it blooming she would get excited.. she called it SARVICE.. it is actually the Downy Serviceberry. It is indiginous to appalachia. It blooms in the spring [white] and is one of the first great bloomers.
According to what I have read about it, this tree was used years ago to decorate graves of those who had passed during the winter months....... It is definately a beautiful tree
