Juneberry

Native shrub or small tree blooms early and produces edible, flavorful berries similar to blueberries in late June or early July. Good for fresh eating or jam if you can beat the birds. Hardy to zone 2. Potted 1’-2’, requires another for pollination. Space 15’-20’ in full sun for best fruit production. Prefers moist, well-drained soil.

Pollinators and other beneficial insects provide such important ecosystem services as controlling pest populations and pollinating our fruit trees and berry plants. In fact, there would be no fruit without them. Unfortunately, many are facing decline and need our help. Pollinator plants make great orchard companions. Not only are they beautiful, but they provide food and habitat for beneficial insects, and many are native to Vermont, thus increasing resilience in the landscape in the face of climate change.
