Description
Serviceberry Rainbow Pillar is a stunning multi-season ornamental tree that brings elegance and structure to the landscape. In early spring, it bursts into bloom with clusters of delicate white flowers, creating a fresh and inspiring display. As the season progresses, small, sweet, deep-purple berries develop, which are excellent for fresh eating, baking, or making preserves. In fall, the foliage transforms into a brilliant mix of red, orange, and gold, adding a satisfying splash of seasonal color. With its upright, columnar form, this tree is a magnificent choice for narrow spaces, privacy screens, or as a statement feature in the landscape.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and encourage healthy growth; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in late winter if shaping is needed or to remove dead wood
With its polished structure, seasonal beauty, and edible fruit, Serviceberry Rainbow Pillar is one of the finest choices for adding interest and year-round appeal to the landscape.
