Serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis 'Glenn Form' RAINBOW PILLAR) requires direct sunlight for at least 5-6 hours a day, preferably in the morning. This species grows best in bright, full sunlight and will perform best when exposed to natural sunlight; however, it can also tolerate partial shade if necessary. The plant also may benefit from afternoon shade in regions with intense afternoon sun.
pruning
Pruning of the Serviceberry (Amelanchier Canadensis 'Glenn Form' RAINBOW PILLAR) should be done once a year in late winter or early spring. This will help the plant maintain a more even shape and structure. When pruning, focus on removing any broken, diseased or dead wood, as well as any crossing branches or branches that are too large for the plant’s structure. If any suckers have developed at the base of the plant, these can also be removed. Pruning should be kept light, and only remove up to 1/3 of the total growth from the plant. This type of pruning will allow the plant to keep its natural form, while also keeping it healthy and strong.
