Amelanchier canadensis 'Prince William'

A bushy, suckering, deciduous upright shrub, this dwarf cultivar is grown primarily for its small, compact and multi-stemmed habit, and its slightly larger flowers. Bronze-tinged young leaves that are oval or circular in shape turn mid-to dark-green in summer, and then yellow, orange, red and pink-purple in autumn. Clusters of self-fertile five-petalled white flowers emerge in spring about 4-5cm across as the young leaves unfurl and expand. The edible fruits are enjoyed by wildlife and can be made into jams and pies.
