Amelanchier hedging trees, also known as Snowy Mespilus or Juneberry, is a showy deciduous hedging plant / small tree, 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. June Berry is a hardy hedging plant, suited to a more experienced gardener and thrives in light, chalky / alkaline soil types and boggy areas, tolerating extremes of cold and wet.
