Amelanchier lamarckii F.-G.Schroeder (Juneberry)
| Similar species | Not to be confused with Frangula alnus (Alder Buckthorn) which is native in similar habitat. Juneberry has loose terminal raceme whereas flowers and fruits of Buckthorns are axillary, forming a characteristic cluster a little way back from the tip of the branch. Vegetative specimens can be distinguished by the long petioles (up to 2cm) of Juneberry compared to the shorter ones (less than 1cm) of Alder Buckthorn. Juneberry also has denticulate leaves whereas the margin is completely smooth in Alder Buckthorn. |
