Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!

The Downy Serviceberry typically grows to a height of 15 to 25 feet (4.5 to 7.5 meters) and has an upright, rounded shape. It has smooth, grayish-brown bark and oval-shaped leaves that are green in the summer and turn shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall.

In the spring, the Downy Serviceberry produces clusters of white, star-shaped flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. These flowers are followed by small, round berries that start off green and ripen to a dark purple or black color. The berries are edible and have a sweet flavor, often used in jams, jellies, and pies.

The Downy Serviceberry is a versatile tree that can tolerate a variety of soil conditions and is often used in landscaping for its ornamental value. It can be planted as a specimen tree, in groupings, or as a hedge. It also provides food and habitat for birds and other wildlife.
