Common Name: European Mountain
'Ash' Scientific Name : Sorbus aucuparia The European Mountain Ash is known for its showy white flowers and its numerous bright red berries. European Mountain-Ash has a rapid growth rate at first but slows down with age, ultimately forming a 30-foot-tall, dense oval (Fig. 1). The white flowers are somewhat showy, appearing in the spring after the leaves. The tree shows its true colors when the fruit is set in mid-summer. The wonderfully-showy, orange-red fruit is borne in heavy clusters of about 40 berries although cultivars are available with pink, yellow and red fruits. Fruits are usually eaten by birds and often don’t persist on the tree into the winter. Seeds germinate quite readily in the landscape. The fall color is red to yellow, although sometimes leaves simply drop green.. Matures 20-40' tall x 15-25' wide. Hardy to Zone 3. |
