Hi Can you please help me? I have just taken delivery of 2 items from ebay,There isn't a clear dividing line between trees and shrubs. In theory, trees have a single trunk, and shrubs have several stems coming from ground level. But in practice quite a few things (hazel, for example0 sit on the boundary, perhaps having a single trunk but branching only a few inches above the ground. Amelanchier can grow as a single trunk but more usually has several branches from low down.
I have just looked them up as I am a newbie to gardening and I see
contradictory information
Is the amelanchier (snowy mespilus) a tree or a shrub? Some places say its
a tree where others say its a shrub, they also have different height given;
ranging from 90cm to 10 metres!
As to size, my 14-year old is about 10ft. I'd have said about 3-4m - I'd be surprised if they got to 10.
Congratulations, though - it's a lovely shrub, with good foliage, flowers and fruit.
