About Thicket Serviceberry:

Thicket Serviceberry is a multi-stem shrub or bush growing to a height of usually 8′ by 6-8′ wide that produce edible berries in June. This plant is a great plant for visual blinds, travel corridors and cover and can stand up to whitetail browsing pressure. This plant is one of a few that will produce their berries in partial shade. What more can we habitat managers ask from a plant! Additionally, I propagate this from cuttings so this plant can produce berries their first year. These plants simply should be included in any habitat plan.
