Amelanchier weigandii Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species, though it is growing well at Kew Botanical Gardens, where 8 year old plants are about 3 metres tall with multiple stems and lots of side branches[K]. They were flowering well at the end of April 1995[K]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Prefers a rich loamy soil in a sunny position or semi-shade[1, 200] but thrives in any soil that is not too dry or water-logged[11]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. All members of this genus have edible fruits and, whilst this is dry and uninteresting in some species, in many others it is sweet and juicy. Many of the species have potential for use in the garden as edible ornamentals. The main draw-back to this genus is that birds adore the fruit and will often completely strip a tree before it is fully ripe[K]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200]. Grafting onto seedlings of A. lamarckii or Sorbus aucuparia is sometimes practised in order to avoid the potential problem of hybridizing[1].
