Amelanchier canadensis

Amelanchier canadensis

Because of its attractive, open habit, it is frequently grown as a specimen tree. They are deciduous trees with colorful leaves that open bronze and then turn orange and red in the autumn. Amelanchier is known for its spectacular autumn color, which is enhanced even more in a sunny border. Amelanchier, also known as Snowy Mespilus, is a tree grown for its spectacular spring blossom, which is white but almost pink in comparison to the bronze-colored, young foliage. Plants will thrive in slightly acidic soil. Height: up to 12m (39′). Spread: 8m (13′). Planting Distance: 25cm (10) (4 plants per metre for a single line hedge).
