Amelanchier Lamarckii 12 Litre Pot 100/125cm Tall

Amelanchier lamarckii – The Snowy Mespilus

Amelanchier lamarckii is one of the most beautiful and versatile small trees for the garden, offering interest in every season. In early to mid-spring, its bare branches are smothered in star-shaped white flowers, creating a light, airy display that seems to float in the breeze.

By early summer, the tree produces small, dark-purple berries, loved by birds but also edible for people—perfect for jams or simply enjoyed straight from the branch. Through summer, its slender green leaves form an attractive canopy, before turning vivid shades of red, orange, and gold in autumn, creating a fiery finale before winter.

Naturally elegant with a light, open habit, Amelanchier lamarckii is ideal as a specimen in lawns, small gardens, or planted in groups for a naturalistic woodland feel. It’s hardy, low-maintenance, and thrives in a wide range of soils, making it a reliable and rewarding choice for year-round beauty.
