Serviceberry
Amelanchier |
Amelanchier 'Autumn Brilliance' |
Description:
Serviceberry can enhance any landscape with its delightful spring flush of white flowers.
It can be grown as a centerpiece of your landscape. These trees are also
well-adapted for planting under power lines due to their small size. Their natural
form is multi-stemmed but can be trained as a single trunk tree. Trees perform best
with plenty of open space for root expansion. Do not restrict root zone or
plant in poor, compacted soils. |

Pruning is usually not necessary. Clear away all grass
and plants from beneath the branches and mulch to the drip line to reduce competition with
turf and weeds. Train and prune the trunks and branches so they will not touch each
other. Flowers develop from buds formed the previous year so only prune after
flowering. Fertilize with Holly-tone or Plant-tone approximately April 1st, May
20th, July 4th, August 15th & October 30th. Keep granular fertilizers off
foliage and away from stems and trunks. Use 1/2 the recommended rate of fertilizer
for new plantings. Planting Instructions: Trees
