Snowy Mespilus. Deciduous shrub (4 metres) with large white fragrant flowers in spring, followed by red berries in summer and very attractive autumn foliage colour. The fruits are edible and can be eaten raw or cooked. Suitable for hedging. Amelanchier will need some water in the driest and hottest months but most importantly it needs a good deep soil in which it can establish its roots. In southern Europe it typically grows on terraces or in the bottom of valleys where these conditions occur naturally.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
