Plant description

With a combination of delicate, star-shaped spring flowers, a flush of young bronze leaves that mature to dark green, and purple-black berries in early summer, this RHS award-winning Amelanchier lamarckii provides an impressively long season of interest.

Please note: we offer this Amelanchier in a bush/shrub or tree form (pot size is therefore not an indicator of height).

Our bush forms are shrubby plants, often lower in overall height but perfect for informal hedging, or for planting out as a handsome stand-alone specimen. Given time (and formative pruning) this snowy mespilus can also be trained as a gorgeous multi-stemmed tree.

Our tree forms are perfect if you are looking to grow on as a specimen tree.

Care guide

Water regularly during the first growing season to help it establish, especially in dry spells. Apply a mulch of well-rotted compost or bark in spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping it clear of the stem.

Pruning is usually minimal but you can shape lightly after flowering if needed. Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches in late winter or early spring. Protect young plants from late frosts where possible, as this can damage emerging buds. Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser.

Planting requirements

  • Although tolerant of most soil types, Amelanchier prefers slightly acidic, moist but well-drained soil and benefits from a position in full sun or light shade. Avoid chalky soils where possible unless improved with organic matter.
  • When planting your snowy mespilus prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole.
  • Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, these should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up.
