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!

You could add #permaculture as well for help with dealing with clay soil, calcuim soil, gravelly soil and whether your variety of serviceberry will thrive there.

You probably already know about this, but have you seen Robin Wall Kimmerer's book The Serviceberry? As a companion not for gardening help. Beautiful book.
