Serviceberry (Wholesale Bundles) | Spring 2027

Overview

This is the Serviceberry of Montana's foothills and coulees, also called juneberry or saskatoon. White flowers open before the leaves, sweet purple berries ripen in early summer and the fall color is orange and red.

Origin & History

Native across the northern plains and Rockies, and a staple food of the plains tribes, who dried the berries into pemmican.

Fruit & Uses

Blueberry sized, sweet fruit for fresh eating, pies and jam. These are seedlings, so berry size varies and is smaller than named orchard saskatoons. Birds, bears and people all compete for the crop.

Growth Habit

Upright, multi-stemmed shrub, 7 to 10 ft tall. Slow to establish, then long lived.

Spacing

Plant 4 to 6 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 100 to 150 ft of row.

Pollination

Self-fertile and bee-pollinated. One of the earliest bee plants of spring.

Cold hardiness

We rate Serviceberry to zone 2, winters to -50°F.

How wholesale orders work

• Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
• Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
• Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
• No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
• If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
• Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.
