Serviceberry

16 years ago

I have a serviceberry (exact name unknown - put in by out-of-business landscaper.) It did well until a Spring ice storm 2 years ago. After the storm, there was a lot of damage to the tree - multiple dead branches. Now, there are four long, leggy branches with leaves and flowers at the ends. Can this be saved? It looks pretty bad. Would pruning it all the way down rejuvenate it? It does have one sucker branch that is shorter and healthy-looking. I cut back the branches that were dead and am now left with a significant clump of dead wood at the bottom with the few remaining living branches rising above. Thanks!
