    Serviceberries! I have to harvest them early as the birds and squirrels will clean them out quickly. Delicious with vanilla ice cream.

    I've not heard of service berries before.

    They look like red blueberries.

    My Dad grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada and called them Saskatoon berries.

    I've heard them called sugar plums and thought the same thing: "they look like red blueberries."

    Old house neighbors had a service berry bush along my yard. When I mowed I would pull some off everytime I went by.
    They finally figured out why only half of the bush had berries.
