The mountain ash. These are small, graceful trees or shrubs with attractive foliage, which is usually pinnate, toothed or lobed and provides good autumn colour. In spring or early summer they produce dense corymbs of frothy white or pinkish flowers, which are followed by fruit varying in colour depending on the species.
Sorbus glabriuscula was once described as the white-berried form of Sorbus hupehensis. It is an excellent small tree for a small (or large) garden. It has rather broader, more rounded leaflets than most other rowans, and with an unusual slightly greyish green colour. It has large clusters of small fruit, which normally remain long after the leaves have fallen. This takes a long time, as they change from green to yellow to orange, and in a good year to red as well.
