Amelancheir canadensis - service berry, planted as understorey growth beneath massive trees in Riverside Park, and showing brilliant autumn colour. One of my favourite trees. We've planted quite a few this year on rooftops. They're tough. Their berries taste delicious and their airy white flowers are lovely in spring.
Below, good old gingkos. Not a candidate for rooves, but another favourite street tree of mine because of its saturated fall colour.
Just don't plant the females! (Or you will be forever stepping on stinky berries)
