1 Live Plant European Mountain Ash Tree 20 Inch Tall Sorbus aucuparia 2 Year Old Starter Plant
European Mountain Ash is a deciduous ornamental tree grown for its graceful form, fern-like foliage, and showy seasonal display of white spring blooms followed by clusters of bright red-orange berries that persist into cooler months. This two-year-old starter plant arrives at approximately 20 inches tall, making it a manageable size for establishing in the landscape. Its upright habit and fine-textured leaves lend a soft, elegant look to yards, borders, and naturalized plantings.
This tree works well as a specimen, in mixed borders, or in wildlife-friendly landscapes where its berries and open branching are appreciated. The foliage turns shades of yellow, orange, and reddish-purple in autumn for added seasonal interest. Provide consistent moisture and well-drained soil during establishment, and site it where it has room to mature into a medium-sized tree.
