Amelanchier canadensis
This stunning tree is coppiced in my garden -- typically chain sawing a quarter or a third of the stems each year, keeping it as a "shrub". There are fabulous standard trees at Sheffield Park, which are well worth a visit. In Autumn, the red fruits are delicious if you can find any not already gorged by green finches, blackbirds and thrushes, which go crazy for them.
