Scarlet Japanese Rowan Tree | Sorbus commixta 'Embley'

Colour throughout the seasons

The Highlights

    • A beautiful small, upright Mountain Ash
    • Renowned for its vivid autumn foliage in a range of bright purples, crimson and oranges
    • Pinnate leaves which frame large clusters of creamy-white flowers in spring
    • Bright orange-red berries which provide much needed food for hungry garden birds from autumn into winter
    • Grows to a compact 5 x 4m, making it ideal for the average garden
    • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

Know Your Plant

Supplied as:

Bare Root
Our trees are supplied as “bare roots” meaning that the roots of the trees are established below the ground but not actively growing (dormant) between November and March. As bare roots are stored without any soil or pot, they would easily settle themselves when in contact with soil in your garden. Don't panic if your tree is not showing any sign of growth above the ground comes April, as its still in the dormant phase.
9L Eco Pot
This tree is supplied in a 9L Poly-Pot, which is approx D15 x H30cm. Poly-Pots use 70% less plastic then traditional pots and can be recycled easily. A 9L pot allows ample space for good root development and can support a good size tree.

Care Guide

Excellent disease resistance, average pest resistance

Not prone to many diseases in cold regions but prone to fire blight in warm areas. Prune away affected branches if this happens. Lichen will sometimes grow on the bark, and in rural areas deer may eat the berries.MORE

Water during dry spells

Watering is only needed in long droughts. You can also water thoroughly during spring to ensure rapid growth during summer months.

Full sun to partial shade

Sorbus trees aren't too picky about their position - they will grow in open, sunny sites (6h+) or partial shade(3-6h).

Happy in most soils

Prefers well drained, acidic soils but will be fine in any type.

Prune annually

Never prune during the growing season as sap will attract bugs and diseases, although any time of year is acceptable for dead wood removal. If diseased, then prune away affected branches.
