A lovely compact tree with a long season of interest. Masses of white flowers in spring followed by red edible fruit in summer and brilliant orange-red autumn foliage. Usually grown as a multi-stemmed specimen. Amelanchier canadensis is also known as Juneberry because of when its fruit ripen, These really are edible (and are delicious) but to have a chance of trying even one, the tree must be netted as birds adore them when they are unripe.
