I have come across two of these trees, and two plant "experts" haven't been able to identify it. I am in Australia, but I'm confident that it's not an Australian tree. Any ideas? Thanks, Ryan. (I can take additional photos of specific features if required).
Hi, I’m in the Adelaide hills (cool temperate or something like that) I haven’t been around the tree for a whole year, and haven’t seen it flower. However, I have found these receptacles? (pictured) under the tree but I can’t absolutely guarantee that they’re from the same tree - but it’s very likely.
Hi, I posted a response which has vanished. Thanks Ron B and Puddleton. I have some additional images in the hope of isolating which species of Amelanchier it may be. 1: underside of a leaf, 2: some early Autumnal leaves?, plus I pulled out my macro lens for a 3: closer shot of a "less decomposed spent reproductive part" (which this time had attached leaves so I am certain they are from the same tree) and 4: a closeup of a new leaf bud (terrible white balance but presumably still okay info-wise). Hopefully something may be of value, thanks.
amazing to think of our amelanchier (saskatoon in the Okanagan here, Penticton BC - common in the ponderosa forests) down in Australia.
