 | Rowan or Mountain Ash (Sorbus Acuparia)
Rowan flowers from May/June with creamy white clusters of up to 250 flowers up to 15cfm across with a strong, sweet scent. These become the brilliant red berries for which this small tree is most known with appear from August/September and ripen in October/November, as the leaf colour is changing to orange/red before being shed. Rowan is most often grown as a tree component in a native mixed hedge, but it can also be trimmed as a hedge. It likes a sunny situation.
Prices shown are the price per plant. Prices shown are the price per plant. Planting distances are very much a matter of choice - 3 plants per metre is adequate, 5 is good, 7 in a double staggered row will give a dense hedge quicker. Generally, smaller plants should be planted at higher density. Or just have 1 every few metres as a tree within the hedge for a very informal appearance.
