I would like to grow two serviceberry trees in my yard for the birds. I bought 2 bareroot and planted them in spring 2006. They have put out a few itty bitty leaves which turned brown. I would like to try again but was wondering if any of you have experience with serviceberry trees and maybe could give me some advice about how to grow them. Any help is very much appreciated.

Autumn brilliance is a hybrid and is supposed to be more hardy. That would be good for me to try. Thanks for the nursery info.

amelanchier do well in zones 4 & 5 from my experience.

be sure that you plant properly & water well until established.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

I would say they should do fine in Maryland. They are listed as hardy in zones 3 to 7.
