Sorbus ‘Autumn Spire’ Tree (Mountain Ash) (12-Litre Pot)

The enchanting Sorbus ‘Autumn Spire’ Tree, also known as a Mountain Ash, has upright and columnar growth and a range of changing seasonal interest that you will want to admire all year round.

With wonderful pinnate green leaves that emerge in spring, it gently drapes to sway in the breeze. As the seasons change the foliage is joined by a host of tiny delicate, sparkling white flowers that cluster together and are wonderful for attracting bees and pollinators into your garden. As the flowers fade, the vibrant lemon-yellow fruits emerge to add brilliant pops of colour. The final autumnal display is simply magnificent, with shades of crimson, burn orange and yellow, that adds further vibrancy to this glorious tree.

Versatile to use in a range of ways around the garden, try planting this wonderful tree as a single ornamental specimen to brighten and enhance a tight spot. Or plant it in a row of trees to celebrate the beautiful columnar shape and add a range of vertical interest to your outdoor space. You could also plant it either side of a gate to create a memerising entrance to your home.

Not only is this Mountain Ash wonderful to look at throughout the seasons, but it is also hardy, low-maintenance and reliable to grow. It has received the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit in recognition of this consistent and healthy growth.

Simply plant this tree in a sunny or partially shaded spot, in moist, well-drained soil and you will be rewarded with years of stunning, vibrant displays.
