A beautiful example. Amelanchier is high on my list of ‘best value’ trees because they offer such goods in every season, spring colours, blossom, autumn colours and, often, a lovely crown shape in winter bareness or summer fullness.
Agree on their confusing species though, it was always a challenge on a nursery if one was mislaid, one for VERY careful labelling!
It’s a very lovely tree, although some years it is more noticeable at different seasons than others. They seem to like cool springs which makes their dramatic blossom last longer.

Apparently the taste of the fruit can help in a positive ID, but you have to be very quick to get a (June) berry before the birds do!
I fell in love with this cultivar immediately on seeing your photo and reading the description. Seems a perfect tree for a close.
