Our very own, native Rowan, also known as Mountain Ash, but is not Ash at all, it is a Sorbus. It is a small ,compact tree absolutely fantastic for our wildlife. Attractive, blue-green, pinnate foliage throughout spring and summer, amongst creamy-white flowers, in clusters, in spring. A vital source of pollen for pollinators early in the season. Rich, orange-red berries hang in bundles in the autumn and birds will devour them. 

'Sheerwater Seedling' is a more upright, slimmer variety that will grow up to 6m in height by only 3m in width. Its ability to thrive almost anywhere, makes it a fantastic tree for polluted or exposed sites.
