A beautiful serviceberry came with the 1958 house we moved into 20 years ago. My favorite tree! I noticed the shape is getting wonky high up because of all the shade from the other larger trees - a bit of stretching toward a spot of sun.

🌸👍🏻🌸

Thank you Jenny it was nice seeing you again. 🌺💚🙃

Such a beautiful tree, Jenny! The colors will be so gorgeous! Wish we had a space to plant one. So very happy to see you back!! Linda

JENNY, that service berry should be a beautiful addition to your garden. I love shrubs and trees that provide food for the birds ! As usual so good to see you. Planning on getting a serviceberry.

Hello, I planted an Autumn Brilliance last fall. I noticed Cedar Apple Rust on it in this summer. I called my Master Gardners local extension and they gave me information on how to treat it (applying fungicide in the spring). They said they noticed more cases this year because of our wet spring. So, keep your eyes out for it next year. Good luck!!!

Wow Jenny 🌺Good choice . I can imagine how the view of this tree will be and how it will add beauty to the area . I lovet . Have awonderful day .🌻🌺🌻

Hi Jenny! I hear you on the "some call it a weed" but I like it lol 😂 I have purslane that I allow in certain areas because it provides ground cover and tough as nails. Love seeing your videos!!

Looks beautiful! Definitely on my “to buy” list.

Service Berry is on my list. Hope to get a cutting from SIL. Sigh, deer-they can destroy stuff. We have to fence everything. And violets😂 well learning to love them would cut back a lot of work. I have liatris I put in too much shade also and they want sun. It’s amazing I found too much shade here, but our oak is getting bigger👏🏼👏🏼 Glad the heat dome of this week went back south. It was 109*😮. I so love irrigation we installed. I had to because we had extreme drought and I had had it with hand watering by July. It’s been wonderful and wish I hadn’t waited and it was so easy to do. Edit: we are getting the heat back this weekend to Tuesday 🥵. Crazy hot for us this time of year.

Looks beautiful Jenny 🤗🤗

Good to see you sweet Jenny. Your yard is a lot like mine, not level and sometimes places with to much shade or to much sun in others. It is still beautiful. Love the dahlia's and the service berry.

We planted native serviceberries (Amelanchier canadensis), for its early flowering, fall color and to provide food for the birds. But unfortunately, here in New England, these trees are increasingly plagued with foliar diseases [being in the rose family] such as a kind of leaf spot - which leads to them to defoliate before their fall show unless these trees are managed... So, we are on the fence.... The nativar Autumn Brilliance does have some resistance that though... NB I am pretty sure you have junipers somewhere that means "rust" could become an issue --- so opening up the canopy will be critical IMHO... [Junipers and cedars act as a sort of go between...]

Yes, here in UK I planted an Amelanchier Paloma single trunk form as part of the late Queen's Jubilee tree planting scheme. I've lifted the crown already because it is close to a path but should be a very garden worthy addition, growing to only 12' -15' or so.

Good choice! Both the tree and location.

I have 2 service berries. I planted them 3 years ago as I was creating my bird habitat. Enjoy.

Jenny, I heard the other day, TOM CAT animal repellent is really good, I ordered some and I noticed that they have it for deer 🦌 too !?

Serviceberry and soil looked on the dry side when you were planting? I have never added any fertilizer to trees, shrubs or perennials when I plant (no casualties so far ) but I sure do add water and soak that rootball before backfilling. Not your thing ? Thanks for all your videos and information, always enjoy Jenny 😊

Oh, I wondering if you have tried it?

I am amazed the deer have left the mahogany splendor and the dahlias alone! The deer decimated my mahogany splendor and I had deliberately planted it amongst foxgloves hoping it would be okay. I have to keep the dahlias in pots in semi shade just because that’s the only place I can block the deer from them. Isn’t it funny that deer in one area are so different than another? They do leave my viburnums alone but I remember they ate yours.

I planted 2 Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry tree forms two years ago, going on third. They are beautiful but they don't seem to be growing or filling out much. Do you know anything about the tree forms? Your bush form seems quite lush and full of leaves.

I planted a serviceberry tree/ shrub this spring and it’s struggling . I’m hoping that I didn’t plant it too close to the walnut tree and the serviceberry isn’t going to bite the bullet.🌺💚🙃

Argh! Wild native violets are evil to me. They spread everywhere.
