Description
A four season attraction in the landscape, the Shadblow Serviceberry is a North America native beauty that can be grown as a large multi-stem shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive single or multi trunk small tree. In early spring, snowy white flowers in 2 to 4 inch upright racemes are borne in profusion. Following the flowers are edible, sweet, blueberry-like green fruits that turn to red and purple as they ripen. But if you want the fruits you better beat the birds to them. Fall brings outstanding foliage color ranging from golden-orange to red-orange. The silver striped ridged and furrowed handsome bark provides winter interest in the landscape.
Shadblow Serviceberry got its name because it’s berries are produced in June “when the shad (fish) run.” Serviceberry fruit is used to make pies and sweetbreads and can be dried like raisins. The Cherokees used serviceberry tea to aid digestion, and children who had worms were given baths in serviceberry tea. Native Americans used the tree’s straight wood to make arrow shafts. Francois Michaux wrote of serviceberries being available in Philadelphia markets, but only children bought them because they were so sweet and delicious.

Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 15 to 20 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, the Shadblow Serviceberry can be left alone to grow naturally as a large multi-stem shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a multi or single trunk specimen tree. It is a fine addition to pollinator and wildlife gardens, North American native plant gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 20 feet for space between trees
Growing Preferences
The Shadblow Serviceberry Tree grows best in a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and full sun to light shade. A must-have native in every garden where it will grow!

I received my trees in great condition. The packaging was secure to prevent damage during shipping. The trees we as described, very healthy specimens. There is a movement of native gardeners across the country and I found these through a google search. I have purchased other trees from Wilson Bros and they have been very hardy despite the extreme heat this summer. I would be interested in purchasing more native varieties in the future. Perhaps you can provide more NC Native plants on your site. Thank you. ——————————————You’re welcome! We are adding more Natives every day. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy your purchase for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
