Amelanchier lamarckii, Loonse en Drunense Duinen, Netherlands
In dutch the common name freely translates as "American currant tree". The origin of the species is in North America yet it has been planted here since the 19th century, and allowed to bewilder again. It now occurs mostly in sandy areas with poor soil.
''Amelanchier lamarckii'', also called juneberry, serviceberry or shadbush, is a large deciduous flowering shrub or small tree in the family Rosaceae. It is widely naturalised in Europe, where it is known as snowy mespilus or snowy mespil. The European plants are descendants of plants originally from eastern North America; there has been some escape also in North America of plants apparently secondarily derived from those European forms.
