Serviceberry is easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. At the same time it is tolerant of a wide range of soils. The largest yields, and best quality fruits, are produced when the plant is grown in a sunny location. In part shade, the plant will do well but the harvest will be limited. The plants are fairly lime tolerant and they will also grow well in heavy clay soils. This shrub is winter hardy, moderately drought tolerant but intolerant of flooding.
