Amelanchier lamarckii is a true gem in the world of ornamental trees, offering an ever-changing display throughout the seasons that captivates gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike. In late winter or early spring, as the garden begins to awaken from its slumber, the Snowy Mespilus bursts into life with a profusion of delicate, star-shaped white flowers. These blossoms, borne on bare branches, create a ethereal effect in the landscape, their subtle fragrance attracting early pollinators. As spring progresses, the young leaves emerge with a bronze tint, gradually unfurling to reveal a soft, downy texture before maturing to a lustrous green.

The summer months bring clusters of small, juicy berries that transition from red to a deep purple-black as they ripen. These fruits are not only decorative but also edible, with a sweet flavour similar to blueberries, making them a hit with both wildlife and adventurous gardeners. As autumn approaches, the Amelanchier lamarckii undergoes its most dramatic transformation, with leaves turning vibrant shades of orange, red, and gold, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in the garden.

Even in winter, the smooth grey bark and elegant branching structure of this small tree add architectural interest to the bare garden. Growing to a manageable size of 4-8 metres in height and spread, the Snowy Mespilus is an ideal choice for smaller gardens or as a standout feature in larger landscapes, its multi-stemmed habit lending itself well to naturalistic planting schemes or as a graceful specimen tree.

Supplied in a 3 litre pot approx 40-60cm tall.
