Amelanchier - a large bush or small multistemmed tree. Bronze foliage in
spring, followed by white blossom, berries, and finally good autumn
colour.

Any of the rowan type Sorbus, with white flowers, berries in yellow,
orange, red, pink or white, depending on species, and good autumn
colour.

I always feel that the autumn leaves clash with the berries, and
prefer plants with one or the other.

Amelanchier gets rid of its berries well before the leaves colour, as
does rowan. My yellow, white and pink Sorbus at the moment all have
great clusters of berries but no leaves.
