Features and care
Amelanchier lamarckii, known as Lamarck’s amelanchier, is a tall shrub or small deciduous tree of seasonal interest. The combination of light blooms, dark fruit, and autumn foliage makes it suitable as a specimen tree, a free-form hedge, or as part of shrub groupings.
Its form can be upright, rounded, or branched out with several trunks. Oval leaves accompany clusters of white flowers that open in spring from pink buds. As they ripen, small reddish fruits appear and darken, while the leaves turn red and orange in autumn.
It reaches a height of 4 to 7 meters with a medium growth rate. It tolerates sun and partial shade, provided the soil is always cool to moist and has good drainage. It requires abundant and regular watering, increased during hot weather, but without waterlogging. It thrives in humid conditions, and its USDA hardiness rating of 4–8 allows it to be grown in areas with winter frosts.
At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and abundant flowering from the first years of planting.
