This interesting rowan species bears clusters of bright pink fruitlets, which turn progressively whiter as winter approaches, and persist on the tree after the leaves have fallen.

The fruitlets can also be used for making rowan jelly.

The leaves are particularly fern-like in appearance, and turn bronze in the autumn.

The tree remains small, and is more spreading than the native English rowan, and may develop multiple stems over time.

How to grow

This species of rowan does best in areas with cool damp summers, and it does not tolerate drought.
