Rainbow Pillar® Serviceberry

Rainbow Pillar® Serviceberry is perfectly named – a rainbow of brilliant fall colors, on an upright pillar of stems – and that’s before we get to the glorious pure-white flowers of early spring, on bare gray stems, followed by clusters of edible purple berries, perfect for preserves or pies. This easy-to-grow large shrub has a unique narrow form that makes it perfect for smaller gardens, to fill corners or place at the back of large shrub beds. It naturally forms a multi-stemmed bush that can reach 20 feet tall in time, but only 10 feet wide, but with pruning during the early years it can be kept even narrower. The spring blooms are among the earliest flowers in the garden, garlands of pure white announcing the end of winter. The fall colors of golds, oranges and bright reds make a spectacular exit for the season. A great choice for colder zones, this multi-purpose plant belongs in every garden.

• Symmetrical, narrow upright form, ideal for smaller gardens
• Spectacular fall display of golds, bright oranges and brilliant reds
• Beautiful pure-white flowers are the first spring blossoms to appear in the garden
• Summer crop of edible purple berries, great for pies or preserves
• Easy to grow in all types of soil, and a trouble-free shrub

Completely hardy and reliable even in zone 4, the Rainbow Pillar® Serviceberry is easy to grow, deer resistant and trouble-free. Plant it in full sun or light shade, in just about any well-drained soil, and settle back to enjoy the succession of blossoms, green leaves, purple berries and orange-red fall colors. Usually there is no need to prune, but do it in late spring if you need to. Moderately drought resistant once well-established.
