Amelanchier lamarckii

Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews

This large specimen tree is attractively open and airy. Amelanchier trees are deciduous and noted for their vivid colours, changing from copper red in spring to green in summer, and then beautiful orange and red tones by the autumn. It is popular for its magnificent white spring blossom, which appears almost pink alongside the young foliage. Snowy Mespilus as it is commonly known is shown off to best effect in a sunny border. Plant it in slightly acid soil for the best results. Height: up to 12m (39’). Spread: 4m (13’).

Amelanchier are maintenance-free, and will only need pruning to keep them in good shape, or to remove any dead, diseased or dying growth.
