Amelanchier asiatica,
a deciduous shrub or tree found on the edges of spinneys or woods,
with gray-brown bark, grows to 5-10m in height. Leaves are
alternate, with oblong blades measuring 4-9cm in length and 2.5-4cm
in width. The tips are sharply pointed, the bases are round or
obtuse, and the margins are shallowly serrated. Fresh young leaves,
whose backsides have thick pubescent hairs, vanish later except for
some on the midribs. White 5-petaled flowers bloom together on
branch tips, approximately 10 in number. Bloom time: April-May. |
