Description
- With abundant dainty, white flower clusters emerging in spring, foliage that takes on a range of hues across the year and delicious, blackcurrant-like berries, Amelanchier lamarckii is a tree that delivers in more ways than one.
- Also known as the juneberry, this tree is as easygoing as it is tough, which is to say pretty bloomin' tough! With an RHS hardiness rating of H7, this striking tree will withstand even the worst British winters.
- The multi-stemmed, well-branched architecture ensures great visual interest even when the tree is bare throughout the winter months.
- Bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinating insects are attracted to this amelanchier's nectar-rich blossoms.
- A recipient of the RHS's Award of Garden Merit, the snowy mespilus tree has been shown to perform especially well in British gardens.

How to grow
How to grow
Good pest and disease resistance
Rarely troubled by pests, may occasionally be impacted by fireblight.
Water well when establishing
Water your tree routinely throughout its first growing season to help it establish. Beyond this, water during hot, dry spells.
Full sun to partial shade
While this tree will grow well in both full sun and partial shade, full sun provides the best autumn colour.
Acidic or neutral, moist, well-drained soil
Grows well in most soils apart from alkaline.
Minimal feeding required
Most amelanchiers don't need any feeding, however if you think your tree is struggling a bit, then a springtime application of general-purpose, slow-release fertiliser can be helpful.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
