A single-stem, tree form from J. Frank Schmidt & Son Nursery, Oregon. Here’s their description:

A street tree Amelanchier! This Schmidt introduction has exceptional tree form. A dominant central leader supports strongly upward-oriented scaffold branches. Pure white blooms smother a delicate latticework of twigs in spring. These give way to healthy green foliage that turns orange in the fall.
