Amelanchier x grandiflora 'Princess Diana'
Choose Princess Diana Serviceberry for a small ornamental tree with spring flowers, berries, and good fall color. The tradeoff: it is not a privacy plant, and fruit can bring birds and some cleanup.
Buy This If
- You want three-season interest.
- You need a smaller tree.
- You like birds near the house.
Skip This If
- You need evergreen privacy.
- Your soil stays soggy.
- You dislike berry drop.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives spring flowers, summer fruit, and reliable fall color without overpowering a small yard. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady moderate pace, so it fills in reasonably but will not give instant structure. |
| Maintenance | B | It usually needs only light shaping, but young trees should be watered during dry stretches. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Serviceberry can be browsed where deer pressure is high, especially when plants are young. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its smaller tree form fits many home landscapes as long as it is not squeezed against walks or walls. |
| Screening Value | D | It is deciduous and open-branched, so it should not be counted on for privacy. |

Our Experience
At PGNE, we would typically recommend Princess Diana Serviceberry as a front-yard accent or mixed-border tree, not as a screen. Give it drainage, room to branch, and protection if deer are active.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it make edible berries?
Yes, serviceberries are edible, but birds often take them quickly.
Will it stay tidy near a patio?
It can work, but berry drop may be noticeable on paving.
Is it better in sun or shade?
For best flowering and fall color, give it more sun when possible.
