A reliable, low-maintenance Rowan.

A reliable, low-maintenance Mountain Ash clone that has proved to be a very popular choice for street planting in London.

Unlike many rowan types, it tolerates the reflected heat and light thrown up by hard urban areas.

Budded onto Sorbus aucuparia rootstock, this is a great choice for streets, car parks and urban plantings, because it needs next to no maintenance.

It is a small tree with a dense, oval crown, and it has most attractive, green, feathery foliage with golden yellow berries from August onwards.

Mature height: 5-10m
