Description
- Bow down before her majesty! This most regal of rowans will add colour, charm and plentiful character wherever it’s placed
- Like most mountain ashes (another common name for rowans) this tree features pinnate, olive green leaves with leaflets arranged in opposing pairs along a central rachis (stem), with one lone terminal leaflet at the end (poor lil’ fella doesn’t have any friends!)
- A fabulous, medium-sized tree to incorporate into your garden as its focal point; it will help break up an otherwise drab lawn, adding height, shape and year-round interest
- So named for its orange berries, which distinguish it from the red berries of other rowan varieties, ‘Apricot Queen’ is a bird magnet, attracting waxwings, redwings and fieldfares in their droves
- Earlier in the year, the tree produces fantastic white corymbs (clusters of flowers) which are set off brilliantly against the tree’s green foliage
