Bare Root Amelanchier Canadensis Serviceberry Tree
The Serviceberry tree is the Lara Croft of the deciduous tree/shrub World being tough and attractive. Usually found happiest in boggy or damp conditions (just look for it smiling) but it will tolerate other environments readily such as woods, hedgerows and gardens with snotty neighbours. The oval dark green leaves turn striking shades of orange (male description) or sparkling sun ray gold with hints of dancing Autumnal straw (female description).

Expect to see Amelanchier Canadensis very showy, white star shaped flowers from March to April which then turn to dark edible fruits late in the Summer. The flowers turn to fruits without the need of another Amelanchier Canadensis nearby and so is considered self fertile. The fruits have a few small seeds at the centre and taste a little like apple although impart an almond life flavour when cooked and are high in iron and copper. You will be competing with the birds for the fruits so either set the alarm early and go to bed with your running shoes on or net the tree.

Planting Amelanchier Canadensis
Plant in fertile, moist but well-drained neutral to acid soil, clay, loam or chalk, in full to partial shade and expect a final height of around 6m and a spread of 3m although you can prune to less (never seen pruned more!) Best results have been achieved by planting in acidic and damp conditions but not waterlogged.

You can mix in ericaceous compost to the excavated dirt for absolutely best results as this is on the acidic side. Mulching with pine needles and/or saw dust is another method of acidifying the soil.

Mostly grown as a multi stem shrub and considered to be UK fully hardy which means will stick its twigs up to minus 15 degrees centigrade.

Will tolerate strong winds but not coastal environments. As it tolerates high winds, the Serviceberry tree can be planted as an informal hedge and used as a windbreak.

Other Amelanchier Canadensis information (Just in case you have time to kill)
Native to North America and Canada and usually found growing from sea level up to around 200m. Used in Bonsai with some medicinal uses.

The wood of the Serviceberry Tree is close grained and useful for tool handles or other application requiring strong wood.

Some ornamental gardens under plant the Amelanchier Canadensis with perennial plants and are favoured by many local authorities because of its low maintenance, hardiness, tolerance to pollution and aesthetic qualities.

Dear Alan, I wish I had a larger garden so that I could order lots more trees from you lovely people. Thank you for upgrading me- if only you ran an airline too! Christine 0217


Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Tree?
9 out of 10 times the answer will be no, especially if under 200cm tall. However our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.  

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy. 

1 Year Maiden Bare Root Trees
If you plant a 1 Year maiden tree and do not prune it at all, it will grow a little more upright and have more clear stem

Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. 

Have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other issues.

Mildew Issues
Mildew with young Amelanchier trees is a common problem. This does not affect the health of the tree, just the leaves and is a cosmetic problem.
