Amelanchier
Serviceberries (Amelanchier) are deciduous shrubs and small trees, mostly from North America, with a few species from Europe and Asia. They are among the first shrubs to flower in spring, bear small edible berries in early summer and finish the year with warm orange and red autumn foliage. Many grow naturally as multi-stemmed specimens.
Amelanchier lamarckii
This is the serviceberry most often seen in European gardens, a natural hybrid of North American origin that has long been naturalised in parts of Europe. It grows into a large multi-stemmed shrub or small tree that broadens with age. Coppery young leaves open together with white flower clusters in April and May; the purple-black berries ripen in June and July.
Stanoviště a půda
Best in full sun, where the autumn colour is most intense, but it also grows in light shade. It likes fresh, well-drained soil, preferably acid to neutral, and has a shallow, fine root system. Very hardy and tolerant of wind.
Řez a péče
Needs hardly any pruning; shape it lightly in May or June, after flowering, if branches cross or the crown becomes too dense. Bear in mind that fallen berries can stain paving. Birds spread the seeds, so seedlings may appear nearby.
Použití v zahradě
A classic for informal and wildlife hedges, as a solitary multi-stemmed tree or at the back of a large border, and well suited to biodiversity-friendly gardens. Blackbirds and thrushes eat the berries, which are also good raw or in jam and baking. Avoid planting it right next to paths and terraces.
