Serviceberry
Very disappointed with the soil pH chart -> ALL. Soil type -> clay-limestone (heavy and alkaline) I relied on that and upon receiving it, the planting description says -> not suitable for limestone. What am I supposed to do now with my serviceberry? On top of that, the top has been pruned and in the same order I have a rockrose that is broken at the root level (and this is not due to transport).

Description
Amelanchier spicata is a species covered with white flower spikes, followed by sweet and juicy berries, particularly recommended for creating informal hedges.
Widespread in Europe, this small, hardy and fast-growing bush has an open, rounded, compact, light and graceful habit. It has deciduous, elliptical, 8 cm (3 in) long, medium green foliage. Its pretty upright flower spikes, 6 to 8cm (2.5 to 3 in) long, white, appear in May and are followed by edible fruits, dark purple, 1 cm (0.4 in), juicy and sweet, perfect for jam.
Amelanchier spicata grows in any good well-drained, moist, even acidic soil in a sunny or partially shaded site. This variety does not tolerate alkaline soil. Water and mulch to keep the soil moist. Prune in February by eliminating suckers and old stems to aerate and balance the branches.
Amelanchier spicata can be planted alone at the back of a flower bed, with perennials, but it is especially recommended for the creation of informal and country-style hedges.

Planting and care
Amelanchier spicata is planted in spring or autumn in any good, well-drained, moist, non-alkaline or even acidic soil, in sun or partial shade. Water and mulch to keep the soil moist. Prune in February by eliminating the suckers and old stems to aerate and balance the branches. To multiply it, you can separate the numerous suckers between the end of November and the beginning of March. Beware of powdery mildew! Spray a sulphur-based fungicidal if the spring is mild and wet.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
