Plant description
Elegant fern-like leaves appear in spring shortly before bunches of tiny white flowers. Clumps of small, round berries cover the tree in late summer to autumn, which are quickly devoured by birds. Then in autumn the foliage turns a vibrant red before falling. This conical-shaped tree can tolerate harsh conditions and is perfect for a small, urban garden.

How to care for Sorbus aucuparia Aspleniifolia:
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.
