How to Grow and Care for Canadian serviceberry

Canadian serviceberry, also known as Shadblow, Juneberry, Chuckleberry, Shadbush, Saskatoon, Sarvisberry, Sugarplum, Wild-plum, Indian Pear

Canadian serviceberry is an adaptable and hardy deciduous shrub known for its ease of care. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained soil, making it flexible to various garden conditions. Special care points include ensuring adequate moisture, particularly during dry spells, without overwatering, and providing a layer of mulch to maintain soil moisture and temperature.
