Amelanchier Flowering Shrub
Amelanchier Alnifolia Flowering Shrub
Dwarf June Berry. N.W. America, 1888. This is a shrub of great beauty, growing about 8 feet high. This differs from A. canadensis in having much larger and more brilliant-tinted fruit, and in its shorter and more compact flower racemes. The shape of the leaves cannot be depended on as a point of recognition, those before me, collected in the native habitat of the plant, differing to a wide extent in size and shape, some being coarsely serrated while others are almost entire.
Amelanchier Canadensis Flowering Shrub
June Berry. Canada, 1746. Unquestionably this is one of the most beautiful and showy of early flowering shrubs. During the month of April the profusion of snow-white flowers, with which even young specimens are mantled, render the plant conspicuous for a long way off, while in autumn the golden yellow of the dying-off foliage is quite as remarkable. Being perfectly hardy, of free growth, and with no particular desire for certain classes of soils, the June Berry should be widely planted for ornamental effect. In England it attains to a height of 40 feet, and bears globose crimson fruit. There are several varieties, including Amelanchier canadensis rotundifolia, Amelanchier canadensis oblongifolia, and Amelanchier canadensis oligocarpa, the latter being by some botanists ranked as a species.
Amelanchier Vulgaris Flowering Shrub
Common Amelanchier. South of Europe, 1596. This is the only European species, and grows about 16 feet in height. It has been in cultivation in England country for many hudreds of years. Generally this species flowers earlier than the American ones, has rounder and less deeply serrated leaves, but the flowers are much alike. Amelanchier vulgaris cretica, from Crete and Dalmatia, is readily distinguished by the soft white hairs with which the under sides of the leaves are thickly covered. To successfully cultivate the Amelanchiers a good rich soil is a necessity, while shelter from cutting winds must be afforded if the sheets of flowers are to be seen in their best form.
