Rodney,
"Martin" is available from at least one US source, NAFEX's own Bill
MacKentley, at St. Lawrence Nurseries, in Potsdam, NY.
http://www.sln.potsdam.ny.us - look under "Juneberries"
Bill has one of the largest collections of Amelanchier selections in the
USA, but doesn't offer all of them every year. I got Martin from him a
couple of years back, but I'm not certain it is still surviving - not an
indictment of plant quality, but of my stewardship. The named-variety
selections he offers are tissue-cultured specimens, and relatively small,
but they've done well for me in the past.
I didn't get around to ordering from him this year, but see that he was
offering "Lee #3", which, I've heard, is the best A.alnifolia selection yet.
