From being a shrub it grows to become a small tree. Older specimens form horizontally spreading branches. The fine branching pattern makes the silhouette stand out in winter. The bark and branches have a striking grey colour in the winter. When they emerge, the oval leaves have a deep bronze colour and turn dark green later. They are greyish green underneath, first with hair and later bare. The leaves turn spectacular yellow and red tints in the autumn. The flowers are in loose, almost upright clusters and are bright white. The edible berries appear at the end of the summer, are bluish black and frosted. They taste sweet and juicy. The large quantity of berries can create problems for paved areas. The tree has a fine root system close to the surface. It places little demands on the soil, prefers slightly calcareous soil that is not too wet.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Amelanchier lamarckii can eventually reach a height of 6 - 9 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Amelanchier lamarckii is average growing and can eventually reach a height of 6 - 9 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The leaves of Amelanchier lamarckii turn yellow, red in autumn.
The right time to plant Amelanchier lamarckii is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Amelanchier lamarckii with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
