Amelanchier Ballerina, also known as Snowy Mespilus Tree, is a great feature in any garden due to its upright, compact growth habit.
It has beautiful ovate leaves that are coppery-bronze when young, which fade to green before turning to brilliant shades of orange and red in the autumn.
In early April, the Snowy Mespilus Tree graces your garden with large white flowers, which create a breathtaking spring-time scene. Later, deep red and purple berries appear, which are sure to attract plenty of birds and wildlife to your space.
Amelanchier Ballerina is resilient and hardy. It performs best in well drained soil and can tolerate pollution. We recommend positioning this tree in full sun or partial shade.
After a 20 year growth period, Amelanchier grandiflora Ballerina will have an approximate height of 4 metres and a spread of about 3 metres.
The compact growth habit and hardiness of Snowy Mespilus Tree make it an adaptable specimen that will work in gardens of any size.
