Description

Amelanchier laevis ‘Cumulus’ (Cumulus allegheny serviceberry) is a selection by Princeton Nurseries, New Jersey, USA, introduced in 1972. The Cumulus allegheny serviceberry grows into a narrow, upright tree about 10 metres high and 5 metres wide. It is a fast grower that does not produce root shoots.

When the leaves sprout - in early spring - the Cumulus allegheny serviceberry blooms white, fragrant racemes. In June/July comes the relatively big, edible fruit, loved by birds. The leaves bud bronze-green, are a bright dark-green in the summer and turn a bright orange-red to scarlet in autumn. In its youth, it does not bloom very abundantly; later on, the tree blooms much more bountifully.

The serviceberry requires direct sunlight or light shade. It is a species for gardens, parks and central reservations. It tolerates strong wind very well; the Amelanchier laevis ‘Cumulus’ therefore also does very well in roof gardens. Plant the tree in slightly acidic, permeable, humous and moist soil.

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.
