I've had the same experience with Canadian Amelanchier here in Indiana. 
The plants continue to live, but that's about all that can be said for 
them.

I've pretty much decided to wave my magic spade and turn them into asian 
pears, which do grow very nicely and are gratefully gobbled down by 
everybody.
