A beautiful example. Amelanchier is high on my list of ‘best value’ trees because they offer such goods in every season, spring colours, blossom, autumn colours and, often, a lovely crown shape in winter bareness or summer fullness.

Agree on their confusing species though, it was always a challenge on a nursery if one was mislaid, one for VERY careful labelling!

Apparently the taste of the fruit can help in a positive ID, but you have to be very quick to get a (June) berry before the birds do!

I fell in love with this cultivar immediately on seeing your photo and reading the description. Seems a perfect tree for a close.

It’s a very lovely tree, although some years it is more noticeable at different seasons than others. They seem to like cool springs which makes their dramatic blossom last longer.
