AB Five serviceberry (Amelanchier) cultivars, 2 each in 11 communities, were planted for evaluation as street trees. They were measured annually for 3 years, and periodically afterwards, by cooperators in the Municipal Tree Restoration Program using standardized methods. ‘Autumn Brilliance’, ‘Cumulus’, ‘Princess Diana’, ‘Robin Hill’, and Tradition® all performed well in general, but they suffered somewhat from urban stresses. ‘Autumn Brilliance’ had healthier foliage, higher survival, and was broader but not as tall as the others.
