Further Information

You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.

For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Pruning Advice

Juneberry should be pruned in the dormant Winter months (November-February).

Amelanchier lamarckii Hedging Plant Description

Juneberry hedging comes alive in spring, with its bronze and pink-tinged leaves and white flowers, before maturing into glossy green leaves that turn vibrant red and orange during the autumn months. Although it is not the fastest grower, with a growth rate of around 30-40cm per year, Juneberry hedging boasts year-round interest.

Juneberry is a fruiting hedge - in fact, its delicious berries, which are said to taste similar to apples, are commonly used in gin! In the summertime, you will be able to eat the ripened berries off the hedge, although they are also very popular with birds, who tend to pick them all off before they ripen.

Amelanchier lamarckii should ideally be planted in moist but well-drained soil, preferably in exposed areas or sheltered sites with full sun coverage. Available as either a pot-grown or bare root shrub, Juneberry hedging is a generally low-maintenance hedge that makes an effective privacy screen in your garden and although not a native hedge species itself, it works perfectly as a complementary planting addition to a mixed native hedge.

Please note that in accordance with DEFRA regulations, we are unable to dispatch this species to anywhere outside of the UK Mainland.

What are root types?

Root types explained.

Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
