Sorbus aucuparia, known as Mountain Ash, is one of our prettiest native trees and the parent of numerous clonal sections.

White flower in the spring produces orange/ red berries by September which birds feast on ahead of winter.

The finely toothed green foliage can turn yellow through to orange in the autumn before leaf fall. Sorbus aucuparia thrives on most free draining soils but is not a lover of hard areas where reflected heat and light bouncing off patios or windows can create too hot an environment for it to thrive.

Often grown as a multi stem tree, this round headed tree is a great all-rounder.

If you live in an area prone to rabbits or deer then we recommend rabbit guards for these trees.

Mature height: 7-12m

Mature spread; 4-8m
