Sorbus vilmorinii 'Pink Charm'
vilmorin rowan
Sorbus vilmorinii just got better. ‘Pink Charm’ has large, vibrant pink berries that last really well during the autumn months. This wonderful tree has a light canopy with long, fern-like green leaves so it will not dominate the space but will offer gentle shade during the hottest months of the year.
How to care for Sorbus vilmorinii Pink Charm:
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.
