Serviceberry

[Roots]

I had a Serviceberry bush replanted last week because it didn't take the first time when it was done in May. Just like the last one, this one got caught with 2 hot days after transplanting. Now we have a cool spell and the leaves are all just about turned yellow. Please don't tell me that I'm going to loose this one also.

ok i wont

could just be an early dormancy due to transplant shock.

check to see if the buds are green, keep watering as needed.

They're like that. Next spring, you'll be surprised.

Thanks for the replys! When the bush arrived, the leaves looked like they were stressed and more of a pale green color. Watering didn't seem to do much for it. After I made my post about this, I hurried the other day and figured I had nothing to loose. So I took a spade and made a small trench around the bush and put bone meal in the dirt. I covered it up and watered the bush again. That night we had a good rain also. What green leaves that are left are really a darker green now, but the rest of the leaves look like the bush has changed into Fall colors prematurely. I HOPE and PRAY that it will survive as this is the replacement. I wanted one so badly in the first place.
