Sorbus pseudohupehensis 'Pink Pagoda'
mountain ash, Rowan ( syn. Sorbus hupehensis 'November Pink' )
Sorbus pseudohupehensis 'Pink Pagoda' is a broadly columnar tree with blue-green, pinnate leaves that turn rich red in autumn. In late spring the tree is covered with clusters of white flowers followed by pink berries that last well into winter. An excellent tree for a small garden.
How to care for Sorbus pseudohupehensis Pink Pagoda:
Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up.
Protect from cold, drying winds. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole. To safeguard your trees during shipping and their initial growth, we may supply them attached to a bamboo cane. This support system helps prevent bending or snapping during the early years, ensuring a strong and healthy start. We recommend leaving the cane in place for up to three years, checking the ties seasonally to prevent excessive tightening. Once the tree has developed sufficient strength to stand independently, the cane can be removed. In addition, we advise staking the tree and any attached cane, securely to provide additional support.
Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter.
