Tree Blueberry?

Check out this video around 22:30. Shows a 20' tall tree blueberry. Is it really a blueberry? Viking guy posted about something similar ages ago but I didn't imagine the trunk being so robust.

No blueberry or relation I know of in the US grows 20ft. I guarantee you the tree is a native called Amelanchier, serviceberry , June berry or Saskatoon.

. up close if you gave any random person a berry they would think it s a blueberry. The larger seeds, edible seeds, and the size of most trees give them away. Flavor is cultivar and species specific. The ones I have eaten have been good but I had to fight the squirrels and rarely got a ripe berry.

Had my first Juneberries earlier this year, off a couple of trees in a bank's parking lot. I was very surprised at how good they were.
Agree they look very similar to blueberries.
Yum.
May plant some of my own someday.

I rewatched that piece and he doesn't mention the flowers, which are quite different in blueberry.
