Amelanchier canadensis: Juneberry, Standard Size Trees

Amelanchier canadensis is a bushy little tree or large shrub that provides interest all year round, with masses of white flowers in spring followed by red, edible fruit in summer (get them before the birds do) and brilliant orange-red autumn foliage. It can also be grown as a large shrub with an upright canopy that will fit into most small gardens. It can reach a height of about 6-8 metres.

We also grow Amelanchier Robin Hill, and sapling Amelanchier lamarckii.

Growing Amelanchier canadensis

An undemanding tree that prefers decent drainage and a neutral to mildly acidic soil pH. It will grow in damp, but not waterlogged, locations beside water with good sun.
The spreading, shallow fibrous roots are great for holding loose soil in place on a mound or bank, or thin topsoils on rocky locations. It is hardy and wind resistant, but not suitable for the coast or polluted urban sites. It benefits from a mulch in late spring / early summer, especially in dry locations.

It has a suckering habit that will tend to turn it into a large shrub over time if they are not removed.
