Description

Amelanchier x grandiflora 'Autumn Brilliance' is a fabulous all-rounder, offering spring flowers, summer berries and autumn colour foliage. The white star-shaped flowers in spring are lightly fragrant and very popular with bees and butterflies. In spring, the young foliage emerges bronze and matures to a mid-green. In summer, the Juneberries arrive which are eaten by birds. As the name suggests, this variety has fantastic autumn coloured foliage with the leaves turning a mixture of red and orange, before finally falling to the ground creating a fiery ring of colour around the tree.

With a height and spread of 4x4 metres in 20 years, Amelanchier x grandiflora 'Autumn Brilliance' makes a wonderful small tree that provides fantastic seasonal interest and is suited to most garden sizes. 'Autumn Brilliance' will grow well in a moist, slightly acidic soil. For the best autumn colour, plant in full sun and mix in some ericaceous compost.

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.
