The Amelanchier canadensis tree thrives in boggy, damp conditions where it can grow into a beautiful small tree or a large shrub. This deciduous tree has rounded oval dark-green leaves which turn vivid shades of gold before falling in the autumn. Enchantingly pretty white star-shaped flowers are produced in spring, followed by sweetly edible black fruits. Grow this tree in full sun to ensure that you get the best autumn colours from the leaves. This tree is certainly one of the best choices for a beautiful autumn display. Due to its relatively small size it is an ideal tree for smaller garden; this low-maintainance tree can also be used for screening.
