30 Seeds Juneberry Amelanchier lamarckii Shrub Tree Edible Berry

Juneberry (Amelanchier lamarckii), also called snowy mespilus, is a hardy deciduous shrub or small tree valued for its early spring display of white blossoms, bronze-tinged new foliage, and small dark purple berries. It offers multi-season interest and is a popular choice for home gardens, hedgerows, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
The sweet, mild, blueberry-like berries ripen in early summer and can be eaten fresh, baked into pies and muffins, or made into jams and preserves. The plant works well as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or as part of a naturalized planting area. It is adaptable and low-maintenance once established.
