Small tree.......

Hi everyone, I want to plant a small wildlife attracting tree in my front garden. Having researched I am torn between a Strawberry Tree and an Amelanchier. Can I have your opinions on either or both please. Also, if anyone knows of other small trees I may have overlooked......I would like your input too. Thanks

I can't comment on the Strawberry tree, but from personal experience I would recommend the amelanchier. The one in our garden is 30 years old, and has never failed to put on a lovely show of blossom, then berries, then autumn colour.
The bees love the blossom, the birds the berries, and l have seen hedgehogs making use of the dried leaves for nesting. Definitely a good value for money tree!
Have you considered a Rowan though? IMO the native one is best, but there are lots of lovely varieties which are readily available. They have a light canopy, superb autumn colours and great for all sorts of insects and birds.
