Sorbus aucuparia - Rowan - Bareroot

Sorbus aucuparia, commonly known as the Mountain Ash or Rowan, is one of Britain's most treasured native trees. Renowned for its delicate foliage, masses of creamy-white spring flowers and vibrant clusters of scarlet-red berries, it provides year-round beauty while offering outstanding value for wildlife. In late spring, the tree produces large clusters of fragrant white flowers that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. By late summer, these develop into brilliant red berries that remain well into autumn, providing an important food source for birds such as blackbirds, thrushes and waxwings. The attractive, fern-like green foliage turns stunning shades of yellow, orange and crimson in autumn before falling. With its compact size, elegant form and exceptional hardiness, the Mountain Ash is ideal for gardens, parks, woodland planting and exposed locations. It thrives in most well-drained soils, including poorer sites, and is highly tolerant of cold weather, making it one of the easiest native trees to grow.
