Water consistently, especially during the first year after planting and during dry spells. Aim for moist, but not waterlogged, soil.

Reduce watering frequency once established, but water deeply during prolonged periods of drought to encourage strong root growth and prevent stress.

Prune to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Shape the plant for aesthetic appeal or to improve air circulation. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Minimal pruning is usually required to maintain a natural shape.

Serviceberry can be propagated by seeds, cuttings, or grafting. Seeds require a period of cold stratification. Softwood cuttings can be taken in early summer and treated with rooting hormone.

Division of suckers is also an effective method for increasing plants.

Repot young serviceberry plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a slightly larger container with well-draining potting mix.

Water thoroughly after repotting and place in a shaded location for a few weeks to help the plant recover.
