Description

Part of the Royal Family series of Serviceberry trees, Amelanchier canadensis 'Prince William' is a slightly smaller variety with an upright and bushy but compact habit that makes it a good choice for smaller gardens. It grows clusters of white, star-shaped flowers in spring against young, bronze-tinged foliage. The leaves turn green in summer, followed by bright shades of orange, yellow, and pink-purple in autumn. Small dark red fruits emerge after flowering (which are typically larger than other Juneberry varieties) making Amelanchier canadensis 'Prince William' an excellent choice for attracting wildlife into the garden.

Amelanchier 'Prince William' prefers a full sun to partially shaded position in a moist, well-draining soil. In 20 years you can expect this Amelanchier to reach an approximate height and spread of 2.5 x 1.5 metres.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
