Best Locations For Growing Allegheny Serviceberry

Allegheny Serviceberry Sunlight Requirements
In order for Allegheny serviceberry to thrive, provide it with plenty of indirect sunlight. Two or three feet away from a south-facing window, or near an east- or west-facing window is ideal. This plant will begin showing signs of stress when placed in full sun. Outdoors, grow it in a semi-shady area that gets partial sunlight for at least six hours a day.
Allegheny Serviceberry Care

Watering Allegheny Serviceberry
Keep this plant’s soil moist but not soggy. Water it when the top three to four inches of soil are dry. Using a layer of mulch around the base will help retain moisture; just ensure that the mulch doesn’t touch the trunk.
Feeding Allegheny Serviceberry
Apply a well-balanced, half-strength liquid fertilizer to the soil around the plant every three to four weeks during the growing season. There is no need to fertilize this plant in the winter.
