Serviceberry (or Juneberry) are large shrubs or single- or multi-stemmed small trees.
They are used as specimen and key plants in landscapes as well as in group plantings as borders, backdrops and screens.
Serviceberry provides year-round interest in white spring flowers, yellow to red fall foliage, smooth gray bark, and edible purple fruit.
Serviceberries adapt to a range of sun exposure, from full sun to partial shade; however, full sun will produce higher fruit yields.
Does best in lightly moist to moist soils.
Water a newly transplanted tree or shrub several times a week, putting 1 to 2 gallons of water at the root zone. Keep the soil evenly moist but don't overwater. Once a Serviceberry is established, usually in its second year, the plant shouldn't need water from you unless the weather is very dry or very hot.
