Wood Chipping Near Me

Woodchips are small- to medium-sized pieces of wood formed by cutting or chipping larger pieces of wood such as trees, branches, logging residues, stumps, roots, and wood waste.

Woodchips, with hand for scale

Woodchips may be used as a biomass solid fuel and are raw material for producing wood pulp. They may also be used as an organic mulch in gardening, landscaping, and ecosystem restoration; in bioreactors for denitrification; and as a substrate for mushroom cultivation.

The process of making woodchips is called wood chipping and is done using a wood chipper. The types of woodchips formed following chipping is dependent on the type of wood chipper used and the material from which they are made. Woodchip varieties include: forest chips (from forested areas), wood residue chips (from untreated wood residues, recycled wood and off-cuts), sawing residue chips (from sawmill residues), and short rotation forestry chips (from energy crops).

Raw materials

The raw materials of woodchips can be pulpwood, waste wood, and residual wood from agriculture, landscaping, logging, and sawmills. Woodchips can also be produced from remaining forestry materials including tree crowns, branches, unsaleable materials or undersized trees.

Wood chipper

Forestry operations provide the raw materials needed for woodchip production. Almost any tree can be converted into woodchips, however, the type and quality of the wood used to produce woodchips depends largely on the market. Softwood species, for instance, tend to be more versatile for use as woodchips than hardwood species because they are less dense and faster growing.

Production

A wood chipper is a machine used for cutting wood into smaller pieces (chips). There are several types of wood chippers, each having a different use depending on the type of processing the woodchips will undergo.

Pulp and paper industry

Woodchips used for chemical pulp must be relatively uniform in size and free of bark. The optimum size varies with the wood species. It is important to avoid damage to the wood fibers as this is important for the pulp properties. For round wood it is most common to use disk chippers. A typical size of the disk is 2.0–3.5 m in diameter, 10–25 cm in thickness and weight is up to 30 tons. The disk is fitted with 4 to 16 knives and driven with motors of ½ –2 MW. Drum chippers are normally used for wood residuals from saw mills or other wood industry.

Methods of conveyance

There are four potential methods to move woodchips: pneumatic, conveyor belt, hopper with direct chute, and batch system (manual conveyance).

Types of wood chippers

Disk

A disk wood chipper features a flywheel made of steel and chopping blades with slotted disks. The blades slice through the wood as the material is fed through the chute. Knives located in the throat of the chipper cuts the wood in the opposite direction. The design is not as energy efficient as other styles but produces consistent shapes and sizes of woodchips.

Drum

A drum wood chipper has a rotating parallel-sided drum attached to the engine with reinforced steel blades attached in a horizontal direction. Wood is drawn into the chute by gravity and the rotation of the drum where it is broken up by the steel blades. The drum type is noisy and creates large uneven chips but are more energy efficient than the disk type.

Screw-type

A screw-type wood chipper contains a conical, screw-shaped blade. The blade rotation is set parallel to the opening so wood is pulled into the chipper by the spiral motion. Screw-type, also called high-torque rollers, are popular for residential use due to being quiet, easy to use and safer than disk and drum types.

Applications

Woodchips are used primarily as a raw material for technical wood processing. In industry, processing of bark chips is often separated after peeling the logs due to different chemical properties.

Wood pulp

Only the heartwood and sapwood are useful for making pulp. Bark contains relatively few useful fibers and is removed and used as fuel to provide steam for use in the pulp mill. Most pulping processes require that the wood be chipped and screened to provide uniform sized chips.

Mulch

Woodchips are also used as landscaping and garden mulch, for water conservation, weed control, and reducing and preventing soil erosion. Woodchips when used as a mulch are at least three inches thick. It has a mixed reputation in gardening.

It has been promoted for use in habitat restoration projects. As the radial chipped wood decomposes it improves the soil structure, permeability, bioactivity, and nutrient availability of the soil.

Playground surfacing

Woodchips do not meet American Society for Testing and Materials standards for use as playground surfacing material, and as of 2011 are illegal to use as playground surfacing in the US, not being ADA-approved according to US department of Justice guidelines.

Barbecuing

Woodchips can also be used to infuse flavor and enhance the smoky taste to barbecued meats and vegetables. Several different species of wood can be used depending on the type of flavor wanted. For a mild, sweet fruity flavor, apple wood can be used while hickory gives a smoky, bacon-like flavor. Other different types of wood used are cherry, mesquite and pecan.

Denitrifying woodchip bioreactor

Woodchips can be loaded into a ‘denitrifying woodchip bioreactor’ which has been used for several decades as an emerging biotechnology to treat agricultural wastewater by removing nitrates. It is a subsurface system where denitrification by micro-organisms utilizing a carbon source (as electron donor) reduces the nitrate into a harmless nitrogen gas. Denitrifying woodchip bioreactor have a low construction and operational costs with a comparatively long lifespan going up to 15 years. The interest in such a technique has grown in recent years and has expanded into the mining industry.

A 2013 experiment showed that after 70 days of startup, a woodchip pile loaded with liquid pig manure at 5 L/m2/day removed an average of 90% of nitrate after one month. However, if the environmental conditions do not support complete denitrification, undesirable greenhouse gas such as nitrous oxide gas and methane could be produced.

Fuel

Woody chips left for drying before transport to industrial off-takers in Namibia. Woodchips have been traditionally used as solid fuel for space heating or in energy plants to generate electric power from renewable energy. The main source of forest chips in Europe and in most of the countries [which?] have been logging residues. It is expected that the shares of stumps and round wood will increase in the future. As of 2013 in the EU, the estimates for biomass potential for energy, available under current 2018 conditions including sustainable use of the forest as well as providing wood to the traditional forest sectors, are: 277 million m3, for above ground biomass and 585 million m3 for total biomass.

The newer fuel systems for heating use either woodchips or wood pellets. The advantage of woodchips is cost, the advantage of wood pellets is the controlled fuel value. The use of woodchips in automated heating systems, is based on a robust technology.

The size of the woodchips, moisture content, and the raw material from which the chips are made are particularly important when burning wood chips in small plants. Unfortunately, there are not many standards to decide the fractions of woodchip.
The energy content in one cubic meter is normally higher than in one cubic meter wood logs, but can vary greatly depending on moisture. The moisture is decided by the handling of the raw material. If the trees are taken down in the winter and left to dry for the summer (with teas in the bark and covered so rain can’t reach to them), and is then chipped in the fall, the wood chips’ moisture content will be approximately 20–25%. The energy content, then, is approximately 3.5–4.5kWh/kg (~150–250 kg/cubic meter).
Coal power plants have been converted to run on woodchips, which is fairly straightforward to do, since they both use an identical steam turbine heat engine, and the cost of woodchip fuel is comparable to coal.

Solid biomass is an attractive fuel for addressing the concerns of the energy crisis and climate change, since the fuel is affordable, widely available, close to carbon neutral and thus climate-neutral in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2), since in the ideal case only the carbon dioxide which was drawn in during the tree’s growth and stored in the wood is released into the atmosphere again.

Waste and emissions

Compared to the solid waste disposal problems of coal and nuclear fuels, woodchip fuel’s waste disposal problems are less grave; in a study from 2001 fly ash from woodchip combustion had 28.6 mg cadmium/kg dry matter. Compared to fly ash from burning of straw, cadmium was bound more heavily, with only small amounts of cadmium leached. It was speculated as a form of cadmium oxide, cadmium silicate (CdSiO3); authors noted that adding it to agricultural or forest soils in the long-term could cause a problem with accumulation of cadmium.

Like coal, wood combustion is a known source of mercury emissions, particularly in northern climates during winter. The mercury is both gaseous as elemental mercury (especially when wood pellets are burned) or mercury oxide, and solid PM2.5 particulate matter when untreated wood is used.

When wood burning is used for space heating, indoor emissions of 1, 3-butadiene, benzene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which are suspected or known carcinogenic compounds, are elevated. The cancer risk from these after exposure to wood smoke is estimated to be low in developed countries.

Certain techniques for burning woodchips result in the production of bio char – effectively charcoal – which can be either utilized as charcoal, or returned to the soil, since wood ash can be used as a mineral-rich plant fertilizer. The latter method can result in an effectively carbon-negative system, as well as acting as a very effective soil conditioner, enhancing water and nutrient retention in poor soils.

Trees are the cornerstones of most outdoor spaces. They add significant functional and aesthetic value to a landscape. However, as valuable as they are, trees require regular maintenance and care to get the most out of them while also ensuring they never become a safety hazard.

Tree planting is the process of planting a new tree in a specific location. This can be done for various reasons, such as replacing a tree that has been removed, adding shade or beauty to a property, or improving the environment. Pruning is the process of removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches from a tree. This can be done for various reasons, such as to improve the tree’s overall health, remove branches that are interfering with power lines or buildings, or rove the tree’s appearance. Shaping is the process of trimming and pruning a tree to give it a specific shape. This can be done for aesthetic reasons or to improve the tree’s overall health. Cabling and bracing is the process of providing support to a tree by installing cables and/or braces. This can be done to help support a tree that is at risk of falling over, or to help support a tree that has been damaged by severe weather.

Tree removal refers to the process of cutting down and removing a tree from a specific location. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to clear land for development, to remove a dead or diseased tree, or to improve the overall health of a forest. The process typically involves cutting down the tree using specialized equipment and then removing the stump and debris from the area. Tree removal can be dangerous and should only be done by trained professionals.

Tree removal, also known as tree cutting, is the process of cutting down and removing a tree from a specific location. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to clear land for development, to remove a dead or diseased tree, or to improve the overall health of a forest.

While many homeowners may consider tree care a DIY project, the reality is that it is a project that requires expert knowledge, equipment, and experience.

This is why, to get the best tree care results, it is preferable to engage the services of a professional tree care business like Truco.

TREE PRUNING

Tree pruning is an essential tree service designed to improve the health and aesthetics of the tree. It involves the targeted removal of unnecessary, diseased, or damaged branches of a tree. While typically trees need pruning once every one to two years, it can vary based on circumstances. For example, flowering trees might need pruning twice a year whereas young trees you want to keep small might need pruning at least once a year.

TREE REMOVAL

As beautiful as trees are, sometimes the only solution is removing a tree. This could be because it is diseased or damaged beyond repair and serves as a safety hazard and a potential threat to the health of the other trees and plant life. Tree removal can be a complex process requiring heavy, specialist machinery when the tree being removed is a big one. While small trees are easier to remove, there is still a method and a certain amount of expertise required to getting it right with minimal collateral damage

TREE CABLING AND BRACING

Oftentimes, a tree is healthy but its structural integrity is compromised due to weather conditions, its irregular shape, or dense foliage. In such cases, tree cabling and bracing is used to provide structural support to the tree. This is the ideal solution in cases where the tree is perfectly healthy, adding significant aesthetic and functional value, but is structurally weak. Cabling and bracing enable such a tree to remain on the property while ensuring it does not become a risk to life and property around it.

STUMP GRINDING

Once a tree is removed, the stump gets left behind in the ground. This serves to be an eyesore, a tripping hazard, a breeding ground for pests, and a waste of perfectly good outdoor space. This is why getting rid of it is the best option. One method of getting rid of the stump is to use the process of stump grinding. It involves using a stump grinding machine to grind the stump down, making it level to the ground. Stump grinding is a non-invasive, efficient method of getting rid of the stump while also being environment-friendly as the ground stump can be used as mulch to improve the quality of the soil.

Santa clara’s Premier Provider of Tree Services and Tree Removal

There are numerous reasons why people seek the services of a professional tree removal company. Perhaps you want more sunlight, to redesign your yard, or you simply dislike the fruits that are produced and would prefer to plant a different type of fruit tree in its place. Even for seemingly younger trees, removing a tree is a difficult task. There’s also stump removal to consider, which is a separate but often complementary procedure to tree removal.

You should not attempt this task on your own. It is extremely dangerous and unlikely that you will be able to easily dispose of a fallen tree. Professionals can remove the tree—and, if desired, the stump—leaving you with a clear space to take your yard to the next level.

These are three tasks you should avoid doing yourself because they are dangerous and most homeowners lack the necessary experience and tools. Tree trimming may appear simple, but it is a time-consuming process with many opportunities for error. For example, if you trim a tree at the wrong time of year (which varies depending on the tree) or cut at the wrong place or angle, you may damage the tree or fail to achieve the desired results.

Tree trimming and removal of broken branches can be considered emergency services. When it comes to how much overhang a tree should have on a building to be considered safe, there are certain parameters and best practices in place. A tree emergency occurs when tree branches become overgrown and threaten to damage your property. A non-professional cannot tell how vulnerable a tree branch is to breaking. A single strong gust of wind or storm could be enough for a branch to seriously damage your property—or a person.

There are many different types of tree sprays available to help control pests, and they work in different ways to protect your trees. One way is through the use of a systemic pesticide that moves throughout the plant’s system and works by preventing pest eggs from hatching. Another type is an insecticide that kills insects on contact or when they ingest it.

If you have a concern about the health of your trees, you should contact a professional arborist. A trained arborist will be able to assess the health of your trees and make recommendations based on the type of tree, the tree’s maturity, as well as your local weather patterns and soil conditions.

Professional arborists are trained to identify and diagnose tree damage. Our trees in Utah are exposed to all types of weather and insect exposure, but they are generally hardy. But, these extremes can also leave trees vulnerable to disease and damage. That is when it is important to have a professional arborist in your corner when you need them most.

Hiring an experienced arborist can help you avoid costly mistakes and end up harming or killing your trees over time.

AIR SPADING

Air spading is a new method of removing soil from around trees without damaging the root tissue or turf. Air spading uses compressed air to remove soil, and it can be done with minimal ground disturbance. The process does not require large equipment since it only needs a compressor, hose and nozzle.

The advantages of air spading are that it reduces site disruption during tree installation; minimizes damage to lawns while improving drainage by creating an open space for roots; eliminates the need for digging over-sized holes in order to install larger trees as well as reducing backfill requirements after planting; saves time because there is no need for heavy machinery like tractors or excavators which can take up hours of labor time on large projects.

Trees are a large investment and responsibility. It is important that we keep an eye on the health of our trees to keep them alive and thriving. Air spading will loosen compacted soil around the roots, which helps increase water and nutrient uptake, while also preventing root rot from occurring. Air spading can save your trees!

Service Berry

Amelanchier (/æməˈlænʃɪər/ am-ə-LAN-sheer), also known as shadbush, shadwood or shadblow, serviceberry or sarvisberry (or just sarvis), juneberry, saskatoon, sugarplum, wild-plum or chuckley pear, is a genus of about 20 species of deciduous-leaved shrubs and small trees in the rose family (Rosaceae).

Amelanchier is a known native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, growing primarily in early successional habitats. It is most diverse taxonomically in North America, especially in the northeastern United States and adjacent southeastern Canada, and at least one species is native to every U.S. state except Hawaii and to every Canadian province and territory. Two species also occur in Asia, and one in Europe. The taxonomic classification of shadbushes has long perplexed botanists, horticulturalists, and others, as suggested by the range in number of species recognized in the genus, from 6 to 33, in two recent publications. A major source of complexity comes from the occurrence of hybridization, polyploidy, and apomixis (asexual seed production), making species difficult to characterize and identify.

The various species of Amelanchier grow to 0.2–20 m tall; some are small trees, some are multistemmed, clump-forming shrubs, and yet others form extensive low shrubby patches (clones). The bark is gray or less often brown in color, and in tree species smooth or fissuring when older. The leaves are deciduous, cauline, alternate, simple, lanceolate to elliptic to orbiculate, 0.5–10 x 0.5–5.5 cm, thin to coriaceous, with surfaces above glabrous or densely tomentose at flowering, and glabrous or more or less hairy beneath at maturity. The inflorescences are terminal, with 1–20 flowers, erect or drooping, either in clusters of one to four flowers, or in racemes with 4–20 flowers. The flowers have five white (rarely somewhat pink, yellow, or streaked with red), linear to orbiculate petals, 2.6–25 mm long, with the petals in one species (A. nantucketensis) often andropetalous (bearing apical microsporangia adaxially). The flowers appear in early spring, “when the shad run” according to North-American tradition (leading to names such as “shadbush”). The fruit is a berry-like pome, red to purple to nearly black at maturity, 5–15 mm diameter, insipid to delectably sweet, maturing in summer. Amelanchier plants are valued horticulturally, and their fruits are important to wildlife.

Garden hybrids

Since classifications have varied greatly over the past century, species names are often used interchangeably in the nursery trade. Several natural or horticultural hybrids also exist, and many A. arborea and A. canadensis plants that are offered for sale are actually hybrids, or entirely different species. A. × grandiflora is another hybrid of garden origin, between A. arborea and A. laevis.

A taxon called Amelanchier lamarckii (or A. x lamarckii) is very widely cultivated and naturalized in Europe, where it was introduced in the 17th century. It is apomictic, breeding true from seed, and probably of hybrid origin, perhaps descending from a cross between A. laevis and either A. arborea or A. canadensis. While A. lamarckii is known to be of North American origin, probably from eastern Canada, it is not known to occur naturally in the wild in North America.

Etymology

The origin of the generic name Amelanchier is probably derived from amalenquièr, amelanchièr, the Provençal names of the European Amelanchier ovalis. The name serviceberry comes from the similarity of the fruit to the related European Sorbus.

A fanciful etymology explains the name ‘serviceberry’ by noting that the flowers bloom about the time roads in the Appalachian mountains became passable, allowing circuit-riding preachers to resume church services. A similar etymology says that blooming serviceberry indicated the ground had thawed enough to dig graves, so burial services could be held for those who died in the winter when the only way to deal with the bodies was to allow them to freeze and wait for spring. Both of these fanciful etymologies are unlikely to be correct since the term is attested for both English and New World species as early as the 16th century, well before settlement of English North America, and serviceberry is far from unique in blossoming early in the year.

Juneberry refers to the fruits of certain species becoming ripe in June. The name saskatoon originated from a Cree noun misâskwatômina (misāskwatōmina, misaaskwatoomina) for Amelanchier alnifolia. The city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is named after this plant.

Shadberry refers to the shad runs in certain New England streams, which generally took place about when the trees bloomed.

Ecology

Amelanchier plants are preferred browse for deer and rabbits, and heavy browsing pressure can suppress natural regeneration.

Caterpillars of such Lepidoptera as brimstone moth, brown-tail, grey dagger, mottled umber, rough prominent, the satellite, winter moth, and the red-spotted purple and the white admiral (both Limenitis arthemis), as well as various other herbivorous insects feed on Amelanchier. Many insects and diseases that attack orchard trees also affect this genus, in particular trunk borers and Gymnosporangium rust. In years when late flowers of Amelanchier overlap those of wild roses and brambles, bees may spread bacterial fireblight.

Uses and cultivation

Fruit and leaves of Amelanchier ovalis
The fruit of several species are excellent to eat raw, sweetish, and strongly accented by the almond-like flavour of the seeds. Selections from Amelanchier alnifolia have been chosen for fruit production, with several named cultivars. Other cultivars appear to be derived from hybridization between A. alnifolia and A. stolonifera. Propagation is by seed, divisions, and grafting.

Serviceberries graft so readily that grafts onto other genera, such as Crataegus and Sorbus, are often successful. The fruit can be harvested for pies, muffins, jams, and wine. The saskatoon berry is harvested commercially. One version of the Native American food pemmican was flavored by serviceberry fruits in combination with minced dried meat and fat.

The wood is brown, hard, close-grained, and heavy. The heartwood is reddish-brown, and the sapwood is lighter in color. It can be used for tool handles and fishing rods. Native Americans used it for arrow shafts. Members of the Pit River Tribe would use the wood to create a sort of body armor, crafting it into a heavy robe or overcoat and corset armor worn during fighting.

Garden history

Several species are very popular ornamental shrubs, grown for their flowers, bark, and fall color. All need similar conditions to grow well, requiring good drainage, air circulation (to discourage leaf diseases), watering during drought, and soil appropriate for the species.

George Washington planted specimens of Amelanchier on the grounds of his estate, Mount Vernon, in Virginia.

Service berry Care

Successfully growing service berries requires carefully balancing several factors: heat, light, and fertilization. Plants that are over-fertilized and grown in warm conditions, but not given enough light, will stretch out looking for more. Plants that are given too much light without a corresponding increase in fertilizer and water will scorch. The right balance indoors likely means a bright corner, with plenty of water, and less fertilizer than you probably think.

Service berry has a reputation for being somewhat of a temperamental plant. Although service berrys are understory plants in their natural habitat, indoors it’s a good idea to provide as much light as possible. Plants that are stretching and bleached should be moved into a brighter spot for a few weeks, but don’t expose them to full sunlight.

Soil

These palms are acid-loving plants that do best with a pH level as low as 5.0, so don’t worry about a peat-based mixture acidifying and hurting your service berry. A standard potting mix, with some extra peat mixed in, is an ideal growing medium for service berrys1. These palms need good drainage to prevent water-logged roots.

Water

Keep the potting media evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Don’t let the plant’s soil get too dry between watering or you’ll start to lose lower leaves.

Temperature and Humidity

This plant will grow fairly well in temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It prefers high humidity but can survive in ordinary household humidity levels. In colder climates where winter air can get very dry; running a humidifier can make the plants happier. Misting the plant daily will also ensure it gets the humidity it craves. Low humidity levels can encourage insect pests.

Service Berry Bush

What Is a Service berry Bush?

Service berry bushes (Amelanchier spp.), also called June berry or shad bush, are large deciduous ornamental bushes or small trees that vary in size and form depending on the species. Service berry varieties, which are native to North America, are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 2 through 9. Gardeners plant them as border shrubs or specimen plants, or use them to attract wildlife. Servce berry bushes offer year-round ornamental appeal, as well as yielding an edible and flavorful berry that works well in jellies and pies.

Service berry Tree Identification

Most types of service berry bushes are multi-trunked. Their bark color varies from tan to pale gray; some varieties also have dark lines on their branches and trunks, and most have reddish-brown twigs that grow in a zigzag pattern.

The leaves vary In shape from oval to oblong depending upon the species, with finely serrated margins. Young servce berry leaves are purple or greenish-gray, but mature to medium or dark green. Native servce berry offers an attractive fall foliage display when its leaves change to orange, yellow or red, and the silvery bark adds to winter interest.

Flowers and Berries

Servce berry is one of the earliest bushes to produce flowers each year. Early in the spring, hairy, silvery flower buds emerge before the leaves. These buds remain closed for two to three weeks before opening into clusters of showy white blossoms. The petals usually only last between one day and one week, quickly falling from the tree as the foliage begins to appear.

Heavy clusters of small, round, green berries replace the blossoms. The green gives way to red, blue, purple or black as the fruits mature. Servce berry fruits vary in size between ¼ and 3/8 inches in diameter depending on the shrub variety.

Servce berry Varieties and Cultivars

Amelanchier alnifolia ‘Regent’ or regent servce berry is an early-flowering shrub that grows best in zones 2 through 7. Also called alder-leaved servce berry, it usually reaches heights of 4 to 6 feet with an approximately equal spread and yields rich purple berries, advises Missouri Botanical Garden. Amelanchier canadensis or shadblow servce berry shrub size is between 6 and 10 feet high and it produces sweet black berries.

This species is available in a number of cultivars including ‘Spring Glory,’ ‘Rainbow Pillar’ and ‘Tradition.’ Amelanchier arborea, or common servce berry, is a small tree or tall shrub that reaches heights of 15 to 25 feet, advises Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Native Plant Database. Sometimes called the downy servce berry, a coating of soft hair covers its emerging leaves.

Cultivation and Potential Issues

Servce berry shrubs or trees grow best in partial shade. These hardy plants can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, but they thrive in nutrient-rich, well-drained, moist acidic soil, with regular amounts of water. Serviceberries do not do well in soggy or poorly drained soil. They benefit from an occasional pruning after they have bloomed to remove dead or dying branches.
Several diseases such as fire blight and leaf spot occasionally infect servce berry plantings. Borer insects sometimes burrow into the wood and create tunnels below the bark, weakening the internal structure and killing limbs or entire plants. Heavy infestations of sap-feeding pests such as aphids and spider mites can speckle, yellow or distort the foliage.

Amelanchier arborea

Amelanchier arborea (downy servce berry or common servce berry), is native to eastern North America from the Gulf Coast north to Thunder Bay in Ontario and Lake St. John in Quebec, and west to Texas and Minnesota.

Scientific classifications

Kingdom: Plantae
Clade: Tracheophytes
Clade: Angiosperms
Clade: Eudicots
Clade: Rosids
Order: Rosales
Family: Rosaceae
Genus: Amelanchier
Species: A. Arborea
Binomial name Amelanchier arborea

Other common names are “shadberries” (as their blossoming coincides with the shad runs in New England), “Juneberries” (because the berries usually set on in June), and “Service” or “Sarvice” berries because their blooms mean that the muddy back roads into the “coves and hollers” of Appalachia will soon be passable for circuit-riding preachers and the communities will be able to have Sunday services again. (Some say, more morbidly, that it means the ground is soft enough to dig, which means that those who died over winter can be buried and have services said over them.)

Amelanchier arborea is generally 5–12 m (16–39 ft) tall. Occasionally, it can grow up to 20 metres (66 ft) tall and reach into the overstory. The trunk can be up to 15 cm (6 in) in diameter (rarely to 40 cm or 16 in). The bark is smooth and gray.

The buds are slender with a pointed tip, and usually more than two scales visible. The leaves are ovate or elliptical, 4–8 cm (1+1⁄2–3+1⁄4 in), rarely 10 cm (4 in), long and 2.5–4 cm (1–1+5⁄8 in) wide, with pointed tips and finely serrated margins. A characteristic useful for identification is that the young leaves emerge downy on the underside. The fall color is variable, from orange-yellow to pinkish or reddish.

Flower details

It has perfect flowers that are 15–25 mm (5⁄8–1 in) in diameter, with 5 petals, emerging during bud break in early spring. The petals are white. Flowers are produced on pendulous racemes 3–5 cm (1+1⁄4–2 in) long with 4–10 flowers on each raceme. The flowers are pollinated by bees.

The fruit is a reddish-purple pome, resembling a small apple in shape. They ripen in summer and are very popular with birds. The fruit is eaten by over 40 species of birds and various mammals, including squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, mice, voles, foxes, black bears, deer, and elk.
It also commonly hybridizes with other species of Amelanchier, the hybrid Amelanchier × grandiflora being one example, and identification can be very difficult as a result.

Cultivation

This species tolerates varying light levels, but is at its best in full sun. It requires good drainage and air circulation and should be watered during drought. It is often confused with other species in the nursery trade. Propagation is by seed, divisions and grafting.
The edible fruit is drier than some other serviceberries, and it is harvested locally for pies and jams, and has been known to be used for wine; they were also used by Native Americans to make bread.

Some report that the sweetened juice tastes like Dr. Pepper and some nurseries sell them as “The Dr. Pepper Tree”, but the fruit is not used in the soft drink.

Service Berry Care

Service Berry Tree

All of the reliable and credible scientific literature done on acai is related to the antioxidant capacity and the oil composition of the berry. Companies promoting acai as a weight loss aid purposely conceal the contents of their product. They claim to provide a product in pill form that is acai. They fail to reveal what % of that pill is acai and whether it is made from freeze-dried or spray-dried powder. Acai does not possess the capacity to drive, create or stimulate weight loss. It is considered a superfood based on its nutritional profile. A superfood does not mean that it supports weight loss. The product being sold by this company does not work because it cannot work based on their claims.

If you try contacting any of the companies selling the miracle Acai diet pills, you will most likely be connected to an answering service. When you ask the service if they had a way to contact the company directly, you will probably be told that they did not have access to any phone numbers except for the toll number listed on the website. If you ask what the name of the company was for whom they were providing this service you will mostly likely find the business names to be unregistered, in other words, the company is hiding. They fail to provide a physical address, a reliable phone number to a company headquarters nor are they searchable via Google or the state they do business in.

These companies all have the ear marks of organizations involved in scamming the public. There is no recourse. In their terms of service and privacy statements they are very clear about taking the customers private information with the intent to sell and resell. In addition to this they clearly state that they will use ‘cookies’ an internet term of describing the act of monitoring their customers’ internet use. Essentially they say that when you buy a product from them they are not only going to sell and resell all of your private information but they say that the purchase in effect creates a contract with the customer that allows the company to monitor and spy on their customers so that they may gain more private information to sell and resell.

Here Is what the Terms of Service on one of the websites actually states:

1.2 Third Party List Information

XXXX collects information from individuals when an individual provides information to a third party and XXXX subsequently purchases, licenses, or otherwise acquires the information from the third party (the “Seller”). Such purchased information may include, but is not limited to, an individual’s name, email address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range, credit card information, education and marital status, occupation, industry of employment, personal and online interests, and such other information as the individual may have provided to the Seller (together, “Third Party List Information”). When acquiring Third Party List Information, XXXX seeks assurances from the Seller that the Seller has a right to transfer the Third Party List Information to XXXX and that the Seller has a right to provide offers from advertisers to the individuals whose personal information is included on the Seller’s list.

In other words, it appears to be a phishing scam. Their terms of service allows them, by a “contract”, to use your personal information any way they wish! Phishing refers to the process of tricking you into giving up personal details such as your bank account or credit card details, or your passwords. Phishing is prevalent on the internet today and you must be very careful of this phenomenon and protect your personal information.

Always check the terms of service and privacy policies of an online store before you buy anything. A reputable store should have trust icons such Hacker Safe, McAfee Secure or BBBOnline which validates a companies’ physical address, phone number which should also be listed on their home page or in their “About Us” page. You can also use a free plugin for your browser by McAfee.com called SiteAdvisor to indicate if a website is safe while you are doing searches in Google, yahoo or msn. If a website hasn’t been validated, you will see a question mark, otherwise the site will have a green checkmark. Also, some sites have been flagged if they have been caught sending spam emails or using fraudulent schemes.

Don’t be discouraged – there are legitimate acai juice companies out there. Don’t let a few fly-by-night companies give you the impression that acai is an ineffective product. If acai is taken in its original juice form, (not reconstituted with water or in pill form), it is a great natural energy drink rich with anti-oxidants.
