Amelanchier 'Ballerina'
Junberry
The Amelanchier Grandiflora Ballerina Tree is a wonderful small tree with a broad crown that is worthy of a place in any garden size. It has clusters of star shaped, white flowers that are sometimes blushed pink. Foliage unfurls a highly attractive bronze colour in spring, before turning dark-green. In autumn the leaves turns reddish-purple and offer an astounding autumn display. Ballerina grows small red berries which can be eaten and are very popular among the birds.
