Amelanchier
A small genus of large shrubs and small trees found wild mainly in N. America, but also in parts of Europe, and members of the Rose family of plants. Amelanchiers are possibly the quintessential tree for a small garden, elegant and graceful in form, smothered with bright white blossom in spring, followed by berries and a fantastic display of foliage colour in the autumn.
Easy to grow in almost any soil, except dust-dry or water-logged, tolerant of some shade and with three seasons of interest, amelanchiers should really be a part of any garden, large or small.
Grown in Yorkshire.
With a nursery of over 200 acres here in Pickering, in addition to roses, fruit trees and hedging we also grow a large range of ornamental and woodland trees. The species we offer vary from traditional woodland or native trees, to ornamental trees suitable for a small garden, offering a choice of blossom, foliage colour and berries to provide year round interest.
Giving specific height sizes for trees is a little like asking how long a peice of string is. Soil type, aspect and geographical location, as well as care and feeding, can make a huge difference to the ultimate height a tree can attain. As an example, we always find that the heights specified by the RHS (based in the south of the UK) are about 25% taller than we would expect the same tree to reach in Yorkshire. Instead we prefer to use the relative terms of 'small', 'medium' and 'large', to help you narrow down your choice.
