Description
- The UK native tree that’s got it all – spring flowers, bright red berries and warm autumn colour. Oh and it’s a big hit with wildlife, attracting bees, butterflies, moths and birds including waxwings, thrushes and fieldfares.
- In the spring, Sorbus aucuparia bursts into life, producing clusters of creamy white flowers to welcome the bees back into your garden.
- Later in the year, rowans erupt into a fiery display of orange and gold foliage whilst producing an abundance of shiny red berries which brighten up your autumn garden and provide much needed food for the local birds during winter.
- Winner of RHS Award of Garden Merit and Plants for Pollinators status.
- Our mountain ash trees are lovingly grown here in the UK for between 18 and 36 months before being carefully packaged and sent out with a specialist courier.
- We professionally prune every tree before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE

In Norse mythology, the Rowan tree is known as the tree from which the first woman was made, and legend has it that it saved the life of the god Thor by bending over a fast flowing river in the Underworld in which he was being swept away, enabling him to grab the branch and get back to shore safely.MORE
