Bare Root Juneberry/Serviceberry Tree (Amelanchier canadensis)

Description: Shipping Only to Areas East of the Mississippi to protect ecosystems from harmful transfer of pests/diseases.These popular city trees are often grown for their front yard beauty, but their delicious fruits are often overlooked. The trees are 12-25 ft multi-stemmed beauties with showy, fragrant flowers in the spring. Around here, their fruit ripens the first week of June (hence the name) and is a treat my family and I look forward to every year. The berries are about the same size as blueberries and have similar tastes. Depending on ripeness, I often compare juneberries to a cross between blueberries and cherries. In the fall the leaves turn a showy red and orange. I think this is a perfect native replacement tree for Japanese maples. They are around the same height and just as beautiful. Size/Spacing:The trees will grow to about 12-25 feet in height. They are often a little more narrow than that, so I'd space them about 12-15 feet apart for easy harvesting. Though you could space closer if you wanted to form a thicket.Site Preference:These are native understory trees, so they enjoy (and produce well) in part shade. That being said, they are grown as city trees for a reason. They can handle a wide range of light conditions (including full sun) and a wide range of soil conditions. Moist, well-drained soil is best. They tend to prefer more sandy soils but do well in clay too. I'd water them regularly during their first year, but after that, they should be able to hold up on their own. Watering some during droughts, however, is not a bad idea. A thick layer of mulch around the base of the tree is always a great idea.Hardiness:USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8
