Amelanchier lamarckii is a large, vase-shaped, deciduous shrub or small tree of upright habit and horizontally spreading branches, and toothed, elliptic leaves, bronze when they emerge, dark green when mature, and orange-red in autumn. Fragrant, white, 5-petal flowers in loose, dropping clusters bloom in spring and are followed by edible, sweet and juicy, dark purple berries in summer. Amelanchier lamarckii can adapt to a wide range of soil conditions, but thrives in fertile, lime-free, slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. It grows well in full sun and partial shade, but best fruit and autumn foliage are achieved in full sun. It is resistant to frost, de-icing slat, and wind. Tolerant of urban pollution. No serious pest or disease problems. Low maintenance plant. Snowy Mespilus is a lovely, elegant shrub, perfect for cottage, wildlife, and urban gardens. Excellent as a specimen, for shrub borders, wall-side borders, and informal hedges and screens. Suitable for growing in containers on patios and roof gardens.

Arundel Arboretum is a shrub and tree retail nursery with over 40 years of experience.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
