How to grow the Serviceberry Tree

 

"Serviceberries are not overly sensitive to soil type but prefer a pH of 6.0 to 7.8. They also perform best in soil that is lighter and not loaded with clay, as this prevents adequate drainage. Although they will grow well in both part shade and full sun, planting in full sun is recommended if you want the best tasting and largest harvest of fruit. Plant trees 9 feet apart as a hedgerow for serviceberry fruit production. Nets are often used to protect fruit from hungry birds. Care of Serviceberries Serviceberries enjoy just enough water to keep the soil moist but not saturated. Irrigate when the top 3 or 4 inches of soil feels dry. Care of serviceberries planted in sandy soils requires more frequent watering, as it drains quicker than loamy soil. Trees planted in humid climates will require less water than those in dry climates."
