Talking about serviceberrys, I was cleaning out the asparagus and right next to me down the hill a bit is our closest serviceberry. The original tree snapped off heavy with ice one winter. This was probably 5 years ago, before we got our generator. I had extra water stored in the barn and on my way out to get it, saw the tree bend over and snap. Hubby saw it too. It was heartbreaking, then I saw a twig of growth below where it snapped. The next day I nagged hubby until he went down there and did a clean cut and a spray on the trunk. You can see in the red circle that the twig has grown considerably and the tree has a new crown. Just starting to bud out. Love that tree!
