- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Utah serviceberry occupies the same habitats as Saskatoon servicebery (Amelanchier alnifolia) with perhaps a slightly higher range in elevation. SEINet has vouchers showing Watershed presence of A. utahensis in Mineral, Rio Grande, Saguache, and Conejos counties. There are no records from the Culebras, but a number from the Cristos in New Mexico. Probably some herbarium records of A. alnifolia are A. utahensis, which has been treated as a variety of A. alnifolia (e.g., Ackerfield 2022). Nearly every feature of the two intergrades—e.g., leaf size and hairiness of leaves. However circumscribed, A. utahensis follows the west side of the Rio Grande drainage down to Mexico. It is found in all Western USA mountain ranges, although infrequently in the Northern Rockies.
