Plant description
A tall, upright tree with rich green leaves that turn deep red and yellow in autumn, especially after a cool summer. In late spring, sprays of tiny white flowers cover the tree and are followed by bunches of red berries in autumn. Like all mountain ashes, 'Sheerwater Seedling' can tolerate a variety of conditions and because of its tall, narrow shape, it's perfect for where space is limited.

How to care for Sorbus aucuparia Sheerwater Seedling:
Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
Please note:
This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
