Multi-Stem Mountain Ash Rowan Tree
Sorbus aucuparia
- A more compact, multi stem version of the classic Mountain Ash that's perfect for average to small gardens
- Multi-stemmed trees have between 3-5 stems growing from ground level to form branching at a lower level
- In the spring, Sorbus bursts into life, producing clusters of creamy white flowers to welcome the bees back into your garden
- A big hit with wildlife, attracting bees, butterflies, moths and birds including waxwings, thrushes and fieldfares
- Later in the year, Rowans erupt into a fiery display of orange and gold foliage whilst producing an abundance of shiny red berries which brighten up your autumn garden and provide much needed food for the local birds during winter
- Pollution tolerant, fully hardy and low maintenance with minimal pruning needed
