Tree of the Month for April
Amelanchier Lamarckii is famed for its star-shaped pure white flowers with yellow stamens, which contract against the young leaves in spring. Purple black berries appear in June, which is great for the birds. In autumn the leaves put on a final display turning red before they drop to the ground.
Available as a multi or single stem tree, thrives in full sun or partial shade, on moist but well drained soil.
At maturity the tree will reach 3-4m in height and spread.
