Amelanchier canadensis
Choose Shadblow Serviceberry if you have a damp spot and want a small native tree with spring flowers, June fruit, and fall color. Tradeoff: it can sucker and reads more natural than formal.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives strong seasonal payoff without feeling oversized, especially in natural-style beds. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace, but it is not a quick privacy plant. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on occasional thinning and removal of unwanted suckers to keep it tidy. |
| 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 | It works in many residential spaces if you can allow a multi-stem outline. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can soften views, but its open habit is not a true privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Shadblow Serviceberry for damp edges, rain-garden-adjacent areas, and informal borders. Give it room to form a small clump, then thin out extra stems instead of forcing a tight shape.
| Mature Height | 10-20 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 10-20 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 3a-7b |
| Spacing | 10-15 ft apart |
| Sun | Full sun to partial sun/shade |
| Moisture | Wet soil; best suited for wet sites |
| Growth Habit | Multi-stemmed, thicket-forming, upright shrub or small tree |
Yes, but birds often get them first; only use fruit you can correctly identify and have not sprayed.
Not naturally; it tends to make multiple stems and may sucker.
Yes, that is one of the main reasons to choose it over many ornamental trees.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
