Juneberry Hedging
Amelanchier Canadensis
- A natural looking deciduous hedge with real year-round interest
- Mid-green toothed oval leaves which form the perfect backdrop to sprays of subtly fragrant, star shaped flowers in mid spring. The flowers are followed by small, edible dark blue berries and in the autumn, the foliage turns to warm shades of red, orange and yellow
- Plant as a single species or mixed wildlife-friendly hedge
- A fully hardy shrub which will reach a height of up to 6m but can easily be maintained at 1-5m
- Low maintenance, easy to grow and generally free from pests and diseases
- Can be grown by a pond or river or in boggy ground

Meet Cameron
Putting shrubs in the starlight (and boy do they shine…)
Cameron is mad about plants, which is lucky, really, because he’s absolutely surrounded by them here at the nursery. Having studied at the Student Plant Unit at Pershore College, Cameron went on to compete at the Grand Finals for the 2022 Horticulturist of the Year Awards. With a team of dedicated growers on hand to help, Cameron utilises our industry-leading nursery (and the lovely, fertile conditions of the Cotswolds) to grow shrubs that aren’t just good-looking, they’re good-growing too.
