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 gonggashanica is a Chinese species, named after Gongga Shan, also known as Minya Konka, the highest peak in China other than Tibet (Xizang). There are typically nine or ten pairs of leaflets on each leaf, deep green, turning red in autumn. The fruit are white, contrasting well with the autumn foliage.
