Sorbus aucuparia (Rowan)
A beloved native tree offering exceptional seasonal interest with clusters of creamy white spring flowers followed by vibrant orange red berries that attract birds throughout autumn and winter. Its feathery, pinnate leaves turn fiery shades of red and purple in autumn, creating a spectacular display. Adaptable to various soil types, including poor and exposed sites, it thrives in both rural and urban settings. The compact, upright form makes it suitable for smaller gardens while providing valuable wildlife support. A perfect choice for year round beauty, combining ornamental appeal with ecological benefits as a food source for pollinators and birds.
