All events
Date and Time
Monday, June 9, 2025 from 5:00pm - 6:30pmDescription
The Maryland Forest Service is collecting Serviceberry seeds as part of the Maryland 5 Million Tree Initiative to grow seedlings for future plantings. The Maryland State Tree Nursery will accept whole berries, so no processing is needed after collecting them from the tree/shrubs.
Serviceberry collection is tentative based on ripeness of the berries and whether they develop Cedar Rust disease. Learn more about Serviceberry collection in this fact sheet.
