Report an issue with this species
Amelanchier grandiflora is a deciduous hybrid small tree or large shrub that produces profuse white flowers in spring, followed by abundant purplish-red edible fruits in summer. Its foliage turns brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn, and its smooth gray branches offer winter appeal. It is valued for its ornamental qualities and attraction to wildlife, performing best in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soils.
