Description
Description
Amelanchier lamarckii is a small, tough yet graceful, bushy tree or large shrub ideal for an exposed or difficult position. April brings a profusion of star-shaped, white flowers with bronze-tinged young leaves, followed later in the year by striking red autumn colour. Purple-black berries which ripen in summer, are popular with hungry birds and also edible.
