A: We may not have any this year. We grew around 300 plugs last year to bump up into gallons this year, but rabbits ate them. We will still put them into gallons, but they grow slowly and probably won't be ready to sell this year.

Q:We're replacing some invasives near the edge of our small woods in West Columbia, SC (8A) with natives, and have a spot we think a Serviceberry (arborea) would work well in, It will have full late afternoon soon (completely open to the west) with trees to the other three cardinal directions. It will experience some try times in the future summers, but we can get a few hoses to get up there to get it established.
I'm just writing to see if you have any concerns about planting now, if there's anything we should ask for if we prefer it to be single trunk, anything else we should be aware of, or if there would be any problem with shipping. from y'all.
Thanks!
Q:Can this be pruned to be more like a bush to control the height? I've seen "cultivars" available elsewhere but prefer to stick with a Missouri native if we can fit it into our yard. Thank you!

A: We've never really tried pruning them, but they should be okay. They survive deer nibbling on their twigs; pruning would be somewhat similar to deer browse.

Q:Hi there!
I'm looking at the Downy Serviceberry. It says it's a large gallon pot. Can you give me an estimated range of how tall it is now, or how thick the trunk is?
Thanks!
Karen
