Discover Amelanchier canadensis 'Prince William', a compact variety among currant trees that bears fruit even at a young age. Its young leaves are subtly hairy and in autumn it transforms into a brilliant orange-red colour, distinguishing it from its relative, Amelanchier lamarckii.
This beautiful tree blooms profusely with small white flowers resembling star-shaped gems. This is followed by edible purple-black fruits that ripen in July. They are not only pleasantly sweet in taste, but also deliciously juicy, perfect for making delectable jam.
Amelanchier canadensis 'Prince William' is undemanding when it comes to soil, but prefers low-calcareous and well-drained soil. Although it struggles with intense heat and dry summers, its beautiful blooms and autumn colours add a unique charm to any outdoor space.
For healthy growth and a radiant crown, it is recommended to prune after flowering or in February. When doing so, remove old branches and ensure that the centre of the crown remains open. With its modest requirements and striking features, Amelanchier canadensis 'Prince William' is a valuable asset to any garden."
