General characteristics of a Juneberry
The June berry is native to North America, but has been planted in the Netherlands since the 19th century. The June berry is a multi-stemmed shrub and produces edible berries. It is a beautiful white flowering ornamental shrub. Blooms in early spring with beautiful white flowers, which later develop into edible fruits commonly used to make jam. In autumn, Amelanchier lamarckii shines its beautiful orange-colored robe. Grows to a height of up to 6 feet.
Characteristics
How to plant a Juneberry
Roots at least 10 cm below ground level. Dig a planting hole 1.5x as wide as the root system; use planting soil and use tree stakes for firmness.
Amelanchier lamarckii is on Appendix 2 in the Code of Conduct for the Use of Invasive Plants in Belgium. This means that Amelanchier lamarckii may still be sold and planted, but with caution near biotopes where it may become invasive: heathland (dry and moist), peaty environments (peat and peat forests), grasslands on acid soils, forests (oak, beech) on acid soils, forests on calcareous soils, forest edges.
When planting, it is recommended that these plants not be placed near sensitive habitats, where they may become invasive.
How to harvest a Juneberry
Seedlings are located around mother bushes.
Caring for and pruning your Juneberry
June berris do not need to be pruned. Diseased and dead branches can be removed throughout the year. Branches that hang in the way, for example over the path can be removed late in the year (around November). At that time, the sap flow has stopped and they are at rest. This applies to both multi-stemmed shrubs, June berries on stems or as solitary trees.
Where does a Juneberry grow
A June berry grows best in slightly moist and acidic soil, as well as in nutrient-poor soils. It adapts easily to soil conditions. Sun or semi-shade, it makes no difference. It can also withstand frost well. It only does not like soil that is too wet.

Reproduction rate
| 1. Very low reproduction rate. The plant hardly spreads, has few seeds or vegetative spread (e.g., trees with heavy seeds). |
| 2. Low reproduction rate. Spread via limited seed production or specific conditions required |
| 3. Average reproduction rate. Regular spread, depending on wind, water, or animals, at a moderate speed (e.g., dandelion). |
| 4. High reproduction rate. Many seeds and multiple spread strategies (wind, birds, vegetative). Quickly colonizes open spaces |
| 5. Very high reproduction rate. Invasive species that spread explosively over large distances (e.g., Japanese knotweed). |
