Description :
Amelanchier x grandiflora ‘Ballerina’ is an award-winning small tree with a broad crown worthy of a place in any sized garden. Clusters of star shaped, white flowers sometimes blushed pink, blanket the tree in April.
Foliage unfurls a highly attractive bronze colour in spring, before turning dark-green in summer. The oval leaves have a fine serration at the edges and turn striking reddish-purple colours in autumn for an astounding display.
