laen🪻does anyone have any experience growing serviceberry (amelanchier alnifolia) in crappy, calcium-heavy soil?
i've been searching and have found both that it's fine and that it's terrible ...
thank you!

Don RayI’ve got one of those that’s done well for 30 years. But my soil is probably slightly acidic (but not nearly acidic enough for blueberries). Mine really started to thrive when a nearby tree grew enough to give some afternoon shade.
This (Regent) is the variety I have, and the fruit is tasty. Mine is 10 feet tall (after 30 years, growing in good soil).

this one is "feuilles d'aulne", which i've actually just seen somewhere is particularly suited to calcium soils! apparently.
we're only renting here so sadly we won't get to see it in 30yrs, but hopefully someone will.
