Serviceberry is a wonderful spring blooming native shrub/small tree that helps pollinators and provides berries for birds. It is an awesome addition for gardeners in the northeast! Watch this for how to plant it and take a tour of a native plant garden in early May!

Thank you so much, thumbs up just for the tarp idea alone! I'm in the process of planting 5 serviceberry trees this spring and doing some last-minute homework. You've done a wonderful job in this video. Thank you again.

Really enjoy your channel, thanks for sharing! I have 2 serviceberries and have really fallen in love with them over the years, not only for the white flower display in spring but the berries that come in June. It's just so pretty covered in berries! ✌️🙏💚🇨🇦

I planted two of these in my garden ! I'm excited to see them grow! Also, i cut the roots that were "compacted" due to the container growth. It's not cool for the shrubs in the short term, but it encourages the roots to expand in a best and healthiest way in the long term.

Love your videos! I find most potted or balled and burlapped trees/shrubs are already planted too deep. Typically I'll remove 2-3" inches to expose the root flare. Also, I get a lot more aggressive with the roots if they are very root bound.

they don't prefer full sun, but instead one facing of sun. If you look around your native forests you will see them all over facing any direction open to the sun.

Thanks for the tour! I transplanted several violets from under my deck stairs to my flower bed for ground cover. Also, as per your suggestion in an earlier video, I planted Anise Hyssop. I used the winter sowing method and it germinated so well that I was able to divide them up and give away on Mother's Day. Thanks!

@PlantNative 3 жыл бұрын

I also winter sowed Anise Hyssop and now the seedlings are quite close. Do you think it would help to lift some to move around? Thank you.

@dianepuskas6362 3 жыл бұрын

@@PlantNative Hi, I waited until the seedlings looked strong and then divided them up. They are spread among 5 clumps in my garden. If I was more patient, I might try to pull each seedling apart. Good luck!

Hi Karen, yes, you can move some to other locations. They will reseed more for next year.

New subscriber here. I just bought a Serviceberry plant and was searching KZfaq on how to plant it. Thanks for sharing. You said that Serviceberry is a native plant, but it probably isn't native to the desert in Arizona zone 9b. Do you have any recommendations on location for my Serviceberry? I know it says full sun but I doubt it means full Arizona sun. Should I plant it with afternoon shade? What state/zone are you in?

Thank you for all your wonderful content on native plants and gardens! Was wondering if you ever use fertilizer in your garden. My understanding was that native plants do not need to be fertilized. Is this the case?

@NativePlantChannel 3 жыл бұрын

You are correct. In my garden, I don't use fertilizer and don't amend the soil when planting.

Thank you for talking about which plants are hosts for which butterflies... I had no idea violets were a host plant! This is my first time at your channel... what zone are you in? I'm hoping to plant some serviceberry bushes/trees some time soon hopefully.

Hi, thanks for commenting. Native Plant Channel tries to educate gardeners on creating better habitats and improve the local ecosystem. So glad you learned about violets! I'm in zone 6, NJ.

@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane Жыл бұрын

@@NativePlantChannel That's awesome! Thank you for answering! I'm in zone 4, Michigan and I hope to learn a lot from you. There's a bunch of violets growing around a huge pine we have in our back yard... not put there by me... they just grew there naturally. I'll have to keep a better eye on them for caterpillars! I haven't looked through all of your videos, but one thing I'm interested in learning about is how do you know if a plant they have changed (hybridized?) is still useful to insects and animals BEFORE you buy it? A good example would be hydrangeas... they are native, but I have one (a vanilla strawberry paniculata hybrid) I never see bees or butterflies on, so I know now that, though it's beautiful, it's not really helping any pollinators, which I would really like to do. I just wonder if there's a way to tell before you buy. The whole south side of my house is covered in common milkweed, which probably looks ridiculous to most people, but I love all the life it brings, and my goodness, it smells heavenly... just like walking into a flower shop! I've seen at least 3 different native bees on it (!) and of course my beloved monarch butterflies!

My service berry is mainly in shade so it’s not filling out. This is its second year. The landscaper placed it in the the shaded location. Now he says I need more sun. Can it be moved now? I’ve paid for it so I hate to loose it. Please help!

@NativePlantChannel 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Marilyn, serviceberries are wonderful plants, thanks for planting one! Regarding whether or not you should move it, consult an arborist. Unfortunately, landscapers are not always knowledgeable about the best site for a plant.

It’s actually not possible for a native plant to be invasive. They can be aggressive but they cannot be invasive.

Looks like a Saskatoon tree, for a native plant channel you should use the native name for it instead of imposing your settler names for native plants
