Fallen in love with this tree and finally got it!
anyone has/know the size of it?
some places say 10' - 20' tall, 8' - 12' spread.
Others say 20' - 30' with a 20' spread.
The space it needs determines where I plant it
- but would like some accurate info.
pics is spring but this sweetie is said to be a FOUR-Season Tree!
You will want to allow for it to reach that larger set of parameters. The more full sun that your site provides, the denser a tree it will be - and thus take somewhat longer to reach the full dimensions.
In a shadier site, it will "stretch" more for light, and not be as dense but may reach the larger proportions sooner.
My Autumn Brilliance is still a shrub after 5+ years.
But it's in a pretty shaded woodland.
It's put on better growth the last couple years, so I hope it's over the hump.
We'll see.
So far, flowers nowhere near as nice as Glee's photo above.
But it's still a graceful tree w/ nice fall color.
Here's a pic of my Amelancheir grandiflora, it's about 15 years old and maybe 12' high and is growing on the north side of the house. It always puts on a show in the spring. It's just starting to get berries. If you have patience and the birds don't get there first, the berries make a great cobbler. I keep mine trimmed on the bottom so the wild ginger, ferns and Annabelle hydranga near it can get some afternoon sun. I like it a lot better than the native serviceberry growing on the other side of the porch. The native one seems to sucker a lot and is not as pretty or full.
fyi - the pic is not my tree - i wish!
. . .just wanted to give a visual of what it should be -
ViburnumValley - thanks for the explain.
after a couple of re-reads it actually sank into this senior skull and MadeSense!
Hon wants to put it in our front bed - somewhat triangular 20'+ bed.
our neighbor has a rather LARGE white crape myrtle right next to our property line in front - so the testosterone is beginning to flow.
Im also getting two ViburnumBrandywine.
me'thinks one of those ViburnumBrandywine
- instead of the Alemanchier,
- would look equally nice and not take up as much space.
of course both would have smaller perennial plants to complete the "look" - whatever that is gong to be . . .
- just trying to get it right !
