Amelanchier La Paloma
La Paloma (Amelanchier 'La Paloma') which was previously distributed as A. laevis is a truly wonderful snowy mespilus tree and deserves to be more widely planted. The pure white, pendulous flower clusters look sensational against the almost luminous coppery-red young leaves in April. Forms a round-headed small tree. Excellent leaf colour is superb during autumn.
A small height tree, so expect a height of up to 4 metres (13 foot) after 10 years.
Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.

Alan, The trees (La Paloma) arrived, beautifully packed, without any damage, and were even better specimens than I had expected – thank you! Kate 0913
Accidentally met courier on his arrival. All well, but he claimed to have no knowledge of the instructions I sent, as requested, on where he might leave it had we not been in. Thanks for asking, and we would use you again. Philip Carlisle 0913
Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.
Do I Need To Stake My Ornamental Tree?

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
Mildew Issues
Mildew with young Amelanchier trees is a common problem. This does not affect the health of the tree, just the leaves and is a cosmetic problem.
