Description

Amelanchier ‘Autumn Brilliance’ (the Autumn Brilliance serviceberry) is a spontaneous seedling of Amelanchier x grandiflora, selected and patented by Willet N. Wandel in the United States in 1984. It is a fast-growing, great solitary shrub or multi-stem tree with a wide vase-shaped crown. The cultivar shines in a consistent autumn colour, with little to no damage from frost and no damage from fungi.

Just before the leaves start to sprout in April, the Amelanchier ‘Autumn Brilliance’ blooms bountifully with racemes of white flowers. In the summer, it bears tasty, small red-violet fruit - a delicacy for birds. The autumn colour of the ‘Autumn Brilliance’ serviceberry is a strikingly bright orange-red.

For rich flowering and fruits, and for the most beautiful autumn colour, the Amelanchier ‘Autumn Brilliance’ should be placed in direct sunlight. Put the shrub in slightly acidic, moist, but permeable soil. The species is best as a solitary shrub or planted in groups. Not a lot of formative pruning is required; regenerative pruning can be done after it blooms in May.

Winter hardiness

A plant's winter hardiness is the coldest area in which it is frost-resistant. This is based on the average annual minimum temperature. Winter hardiness zones are thirteen different frost zones in steps of 5.5 degrees Celsius. This format is an international standard for the hardiness of plants. The zones in which the plant is frost-resistant are always included in the description of trees and other vegetation.

Winter hardiness is a genetic characteristic and is not influenced by the location in which the plant is cultivated. This means that a plant that has been cultivated for many years in winter-hardiness zone 6 but has a winter hardiness of 3 is perfectly suited for replanting in a colder zone. It will thrive there thanks to its genetic characteristics.

When choosing planting for a project, the winter hardiness of the plants is extremely important. By choosing species that match the zone in which the project is being created, it is possible to ensure that plants can withstand the minimum temperature in that area.
