Planting & Care for Amelanchier Autumn Brilliance® Clump Form
Preparation
- The Amelanchier Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry is an excellent tree with multi-season interest.
- It has very showy white flowers that precede to a purplish edible fruit in June.
- The excellent glossy blue-green leaves turn brilliant red-orange in fall complimented by nice and smooth gray colored stems.
- Mature size is around 20' tall x 15' wide. (For single stem see tree form).
- Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of a somewhat wide range of soils, but prefers moist, well-drained loams.
- Root suckers are common, and if not removed, will result in a shrubby growth habit for the plant.
- Berries resemble blueberries in taste and may be used in jams, jellies and pies.
- 'Autumn Brilliance' has brilliant orange-red fall color (hence the cultivar name).
- Great plant for bird gardens (birds love the berries)!
- Prune your serviceberries once a year in late winter or early spring before new leaves emerges. Remove dead, diseased or crossing branches. Leave plenty of the previous year's growth (the plants flower on this wood).
