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.
| 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- | Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| 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. |
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.
| Mature Height | 20-25 feet |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 12-15 feet |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-9b |
| Spacing | 12-15 feet apart |
| Sun | full-sun; partial-shade |
| Moisture | medium moisture, well-drained soil |
| Growth Habit | slender, upright small tree with wide-spreading branches; tree-like with 1 to 5 trunks |
Yes, serviceberries are edible, but birds often take them quickly.
It can work, but berry drop may be noticeable on paving.
For best flowering and fall color, give it more sun when possible.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
