Amelanchier (better known as irga in Russian).

 Amelanchier (better known as irga in Russian) is divided into two main groups: large-fruited cultivars (for a sweet harvest) and ornamental varieties (for landscaping, hedges, and beautiful autumn color). Below are the best and most popular amelanchier varieties, categorized by their primary use. Varieties for a Large and Sweet Harvest: These varieties are bred primarily from Amelanchier alnifolia. They are distinguished by their high yield, large berries (up to 15–18 mm in diameter), and harmonious flavor with a high sugar content. Martin: One of the most popular large-fruited varieties. Forms a spreading bush, the berries ripen evenly, have a pleasant sweet flavor, and thin skin. Thiessen: A tall and very vigorous variety. It stands out for its record-breaking fruit size (up to 18 mm), juicy flesh, and early ripening. Smoky: The world standard for commercial serviceberry. Valued for its consistent and abundant fruiting, as well as for its very sweet berries without astringency. Honeywood: A late-ripening, disease-resistant variety. The berries are large, blue-black, with a light waxy coating, and do not fall off for a long time. Pembina: A vigorous bush. Produces abundant clusters of fleshy, aromatic, and large berries. Slate: An early-ripening variety with a compact crown. The berries are dark, elongated, very sweet, and borne in dense, attractive clusters.

 Ornamental varieties for landscape design. These varieties are most often related to the Canadian serviceberry (A. canadensis), Lamarckii serviceberry (A. lamarckii), or hybrids of the large-flowered serviceberry (A. × grandiflora). They are planted for their luxurious spring blooms, graceful branch patterns, and fiery (red-orange) foliage in the fall. Autumn Brilliance: A hybrid variety whose name translates as "Autumn Glow." In the fall, the leaves turn an incredibly bright, almost glowing crimson-red color. The bush is drought-resistant and urban-resistant. Ballerina: A graceful, multi-stemmed tree with a spreading crown. In the spring, it is covered in a cloud of large white-pink flowers, and in the summer it produces edible dark purple berries. Robin Hill: A unique variety of the Canadian serviceberry. Its buds have a delicate pink hue, and only when fully open do the flowers turn white. It grows into a slender tree with an oval crown. Obelisk: A variety with a distinct columnar (fastigial) crown. Ideal for small gardens, narrow flower beds, and creating formal hedges. Prince William: A compact variety (up to 2.5–3 m). It combines abundant, snow-white blooms in spring, beautiful copper-colored leaves at the opening, and delicious large fruits.

 Compact and low-growing varieties: An excellent choice for small gardens, rock gardens, or container growing. Helvetia: A dwarf variety reaching just over 1 meter in height. It boasts delicate berries and a graceful habit. Regent: A compact shrub (up to 1.5 meters) with a rounded crown. In autumn, the foliage turns bright golden-burgundy tones.
