Amelanchier rotundifolia – Amelanchier rotundifolia

View prices and availability
Very variable species that usually grows as a shrub but can eventually grow into a small tree with a broad, ovoid crown. On emerging, the leaf has woolly hairs on the underside. These hairs disappear in the summer. The grey-green leaves vary in shape from a narrow oval to nearly round. The change of colour in autumn is not very spectacular: the leaf turns somewhat purplish red. The creamy white flowers open in erect racemes. They are of average size. The edible fruits are red at first, turning blue-black on ripening. Amelanchier has few soil requirements but grows best in calcareous soil.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
