Sorbus aucuparia, our native rowan, is a small to medium sized tree up to 15m high, with greyish downy winter buds and pinnate leaves.  Creamy-white flowers are produced in spring followed by bright red fruits which are very attractive to birds.  

Position: Suitable for a wide range of soil types, but for the best results and leaf colour plant on chalky soil in full sun or light shade.

Pruning: Thin some of the branches to encourage new growth up to a quarter of the branches can removed each year. It is advisable to carry this out during the summer as it will cut down on any risk of disease entering the pruning cuts.
