description_en: Genus of about 25 species of deciduous trees and shrubs, often suckering, mostly from moist woodland and streambanks in Europe, Asia, and North America. Amelanchiers are cultivated for their racemes of 5-petalled, star-shaped, flat to very shallowly saucer-shaped, usually white or pink-flushed flowers, 1-2cm (1/2-3/4in) across, borne from spring to early summer, and for their fine autumn colour and fruit. The alternate, ovate to oblong leaves are often bronze when young, and open with the flowers. Grow in a shrub border or as specimen plants. The spherical or pear-shaped, purple to maroon fruits, attractive to birds, ripen in summer and are edible when cooked.
