Thanks for the tips. I purchased one a year ago, and it hasn't grown much. This winter I decided to transplant it to a more sunny spot in the yard. I will water it a bit more after seeing your video. The main reason I purchased one was to attract the beautiful Cedar Waxwings. My fingers are crossed. :) PS I have the Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry Tree.
I added a Regent Saskatoon serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifloria) to my backyard food forest this week after a visit to a northern Minnesota nursery. I'm in zone 5a. I also have several A. laevis planted last year.
I am planning on planting several Serviceberry trees this next Spring. The plan is to plant them in an area of my property that has direct sun. However, there is an easement that the city I live in has for what I believe has electric wires of some sort. This is North Carolina, so warm weather, and here near the Atlantic Ocean, trenches for electrical or other things such as water lines, sewer lines, and gas lines are never at the 18" depth or more as in cooler climes. My question is - How shallow (or deep) and how spreading are the root systems of Serviceberry trees/shrubs? The answer to this question will impact just what side of my driveway I plant these. The answer to this question also will impact the American Hazelnut trees/shrubs I also plan to plant this coming Spring.
Hi there, serviceberries don't have overly aggressive root systems. They're mostly fine textured and usually stay in the top 18 inches of soil. They'll spread in all directions wherever they find food and water but aren't known for having troublesome surface roots. Happy planting! - Whit
@@Naturehills Thanks for the info. I think I have picked out where the Serviceberry and American Hazelnut trees need to be planted in order to help both the birds and beasts and myself as well.

One of the pictures is of a white lilac.
These look delicious!
Great info.

Great video, thank you
