  Trees of Wisconsin: Amelanchier arborea, downy juneberry
The common Amelanchier species all appear to do best in sunny and dry sites, but they may persist as forest grows in around them and they are also found in smaller numbers in a wide variety of habitats, including wetter sites.
Amelanchier arborea ranges widely in northeastern North America, from Minnesota and southern Ontario to the maritime provinces of Canada, south through eastern Oklahoma to Louisiana and Georgia.
In Wisconsin it is found throughout the state, but the true distribution and commonness is difficult to assess due to reluctance of botanists to collect (and keep) vouchers of these very challenging species.
