Description
The Lamaqui Serviceberry (Amelanchier × lamarckii) is a versatile, multi-stemmed shrub or small tree, prized for its ornamental beauty, edible fruit, and seasonal transformations. In early spring, it bursts into bloom with clouds of delicate white flowers, attracting pollinators and beneficial insects. By summer, it produces juicy, dark purple berries that are not only delicious for humans but also a valuable food source for birds and wildlife.
Its lush green foliage provides an elegant backdrop throughout summer before transforming into brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold in autumn, creating a stunning fall display. With a mature height of 15-25 feet, this hardy and low-maintenance tree thrives in varied soil conditions, full sun to partial shade, and urban settings, making it a perfect addition to gardens, parks, and woodlands.
Highly disease-resistant and adaptable, Juneberry is an excellent choice for hedgerows, specimen plantings, and naturalized areas, offering year-round visual interest and ecological benefits.
