Kashmir Rowan Tree
Sorbus cashmiriana
- With its showers of snowy white berries in the autumn, the Kashmir rowan stands out wherever it's planted!
- Featuring the multi-leaflet leaves synonymous with the species - up to 19 leaflets per leaf, in fact - Sorbus cashmiriana has a lovely, bushy habit with a spreading framework of branches.
- In spring, the tree produces dainty, pastel pink flower corymbs which are popular with bees and butterflies.
- A recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, the Kashmir rowan has been shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.
- Did you know? Rowans actually belong to the same taxanomical family as apples, cherries and almonds (Rosaceae) and their berries are technically pomes, rather than true berries.
