Snowy Mespilus

(Amelanchier ovalis)

Snowy Mespilus belongs to the wild bushes, whose fruits are edible. The blossoms of the Snowy Mespilus are pollinated by insects like honeybees, bumblebees, hoverflies and various butterfly species. Even the fruits of the Snowy Mespilus are an important food source for many insects and especially for birds.

As part of the educational initiative "Biodiversity and Environmental Education", a green lawn was transformed into a colourful, species-rich garden on this site by the pupils of the Längenfeld Primary School and Middle School Nature Park Schools.
