Autumn Brilliance Shadblow Serviceberry Spacing If you want your serviceberries to have a single trunk, instead of the traditional multi-stems, start when the tree is young by pruning the root suckers as they appear, following flowering. You should prune your serviceberries annually, but be sure to leave some old growth, as flowers form on old wood. Prune your Shadblow Serviceberry after it has finished blooming in the late fall or early spring by removing crossing, crowded, or diseased branches. To produce the maximum amount of berries, fertilize your serviceberry shrubs with liquid fertilizer in six-week intervals between early April to the end of October. Keep the root ball of the plant sufficiently moist until the plant is well established. It is fairly drought tolerant once it’s been established, and does well in a variety of different soils, so long as they have good-drainage.

The one in this photo was planted in a small parking island in downtown Sumner, Washington about 5 years ago, and has performed like an arboretum specimen. However, out in the open as a street tree, or in the yard or garden where there is good air circulation, I have seen few problems. They are a bit susceptible in certain areas to some of the fungal diseases, such as Rust, Leaf Blight, Fire Blight, and Powdery Mildew, so they perform best in production with some fungicidal treatment. If fact we have seen them sprout in the spring, wilt back from desiccation, then rebound strong with adequate watering. From our experience, they transplant rather easily, but do prefer a sandy loam, well-drained soil for optimum growth.
