Juneberries contain all the essential for an edible landscape plant. It transplants easily, especially when container grown. When given a place to grow in sun or partial shade with no competition from weeds or lawn, it will continue growing as if never disturbed. It readily blends in with other plants since the different varieties have differed sizes. They can be grown in a row for fruit production. The example being Regent. Regent, because of its small size can also be grown alone when space is dear.

Juneberries are relatives of apples and pears. They can have similar pest etc..  but it is usually on close inspection that they are apparent. The numbers rarely exceed populations that would threaten a crop or damage the plant.

Juneberries can take the rigors of the seasons, and do well drought as well as extreme temperatures. Be sure your newly set plants are watered, especially the first season of growth. A mulch of a few inches is a good idea too. A little care goes a long way for the first season.

Juneberries can be used in any blueberry recipe. They freeze well. I have also frozen them after picking with other fruits like black currants, mulberries, blueberries, and raspberries, which also ripen at similar and overlapping times.
