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!

Helen Clayton@moonrabbit I’ve seen them growing everywhere so I imagine they can cope with most soils.
Tony MeredithA vote from me for amelanchier being versatile.
We found one in our garden growing slowly in delicate balance. Imagine a stone wall, with an old fern growing out horizontally, and then the amelanchier growing vertically out of the fern.
I eventually cut it out in 2024 (when more than 2m tall) planted it in the earth, and it's flowering again now.

my goodness! that sounds extremely adaptable. and a stone wall would probably (depending on the type of stone, i suppose) be fairly heavy on the calcium ...
