Actually, I just planted a serviceberry this spring! It's a shrubby cultivar that isn't supposed to get more than 4-5' high, though.
The jury's still out on how it's going to perform in my area. We had a very wet spring and it got all kinds of leaf spots, and then it got attacked by some weird caterpillar that I've never seen on any of my other plants. As a result of these two things, it has lost all its leaves! I see some new shoots ready to pop out at the base, though, so we'll see what happens.
