Mountain Ash
Sorbus aucuparia(Tree)
A spreading, deciduous tree or shrub producing sprays of tiny white flowers in late spring. Rich green leaves which take on brilliant shades of deep red, orange and yellow in the autumn. The flowers are followed by bunches of red berries which are highly attractive to wildlife, particularly birds. It has a conical growth habit and is tolerant of harsh conditions, making it ideal for use as a small to medium sized tree in copse or woodland and well worthy of inclusion in a native mixed hedge.
