Snowy Mespilus
Snowy Mespilus (Amelanchier canadensis), also known as Juneberry, is a showy deciduous hedge with leaves opening coppery-red, turning to soft green in summer and then to shades of red, orange and yellow in autumn. The plants are smothered with one inch (2.5cm) wide white flowers in spring and these are followed by edible black berries. Snowy Mespilus is a hardy plant, suited to a more experienced gardener and thrives in well drained / light, chalky / alkaline soil types, tolerating extremes of cold and wet.
