Description

  • A small, tough yet graceful bushy tree, ideal for an exposed or difficult position
  • April brings a profusion of star-shaped, white flowers with bronze tinged young leaves
  • A striking display of red autumn colour follows the bloom of these white flowers
  • Purple-black berries ripen in the summer which are popular with hungry birds, and also edible
  • The berries from this tree can be used to make jams and jellies
  • Tolerates a wide range of soil and offers year-round interest
  • Also known as the Juneberry, Serviceberry and canadensis
  • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
  • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
