Clusters of white, fragrant flowers bloom, followed by wildlife-friendly red berries in autumn. This hardy rowan tree not only offers stunning autumnal hues but also serves as a valuable food source for birds. Perfect for compact gardens, its changing foliage adds a touch of brilliance to any landscape.
Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
