Juneberry, Serviceberry, Snowy Mespilus

Amelanchier arborea 'Robin Hill,' also known as the Juneberry, Serviceberry, or Snowy Mespilus, is the perfect garden tree. We consider it to be the best form of Amelanchier on the market.

Juneberry trees offer a significant benefit by providing interest throughout the year. Starting in spring, profuse white flowers emerge in plentiful racemes (flower clusters along a central stem), covering the Amelanchier from top to bottom. The foliage follows the blossom, emerging a coppery colour that turns bright green by late spring. The fantastic, rich red autumn colour concludes this tree's remarkable display.

Amelanchier arborea Robin Hill is a tough, small tree that performs best in moist, well-drained, lime-free soil. It is capable of thriving in most soil types; however, in soil of reduced quality, it is wise to invest time and effort into tree pit preparation to give the tree the best chance at thriving in less-than-optimum conditions.

This single-stemmed specimen is a true treasure, suitable for a wide range of planting schemes, from urban street tree plantings to residential gardens and parks. Being such a small tree of ultimate size, it can be planted much closer to buildings than most trees, making it particularly useful in gardens where space is at a premium.

We also offer a multi-stemmed Robin Hill, which is well-suited for use as natural privacy screens or to add a sense of density to planting schemes.

If you opt to plant a Juneberry tree, you will not be disappointed—it is simply stunning!

If you live in an area prone to rabbits or deer, we recommend rabbit guards for these trees.
