Amelanchier lamarckii - June Berry

Amelanchier lamarckii, commonly known as June Berry or Snowy Mespilus, is a versatile deciduous shrub or small tree that brings year-round beauty to the garden. In early spring, it bursts into life with clouds of star-shaped, pure white flowers, contrasting beautifully with emerging coppery-bronze young leaves. As the flowers fade, the foliage matures to lush green before transforming into a spectacular display of red, orange, and gold in autumn. By early summer, small, edible, dark purple-black berries appear, attracting birds and adding seasonal interest.

Thriving in moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, Amelanchier lamarckii is perfect as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or as part of a wildlife garden. Minimal pruning is needed, just remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter. Pair with spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils or hellebores for a breathtaking seasonal display.

Supplied in approx. 5 - 6.5 Litre containers.
