The Right Place To Plant A Tree

TREES WITH AUTUMN-TO-WINTER FRUIT

STRANVAESIA

Although it is often grown as a large evergreen shrub, this can be trained con a single stem to form a small tree. White flowers are produced in early summer, and the clusters of bright red berries that appear in autumn last all through the winter months.

 ROWAN sorbus forrestii

Each leaf of this small, rounded tree is composed of numerous leaflets — blue-green in color. Flattened heads of white flowers are carried in late spring, and the large bunches of small white berries that emerge in the autumn persist all through winter.

KASHMIR ROWAN

Erect when young, this openly branched tree has divided leaves that become gold or russet in autumn. Blush-pink flowers open in early summer, and the clusters of marble-sized white berries decorate the branches from autumn onwards.

ROWAN sorbus ‘joseph Rock

One of the most popular of all rowans, 'Joseph Rock' has the characteristic vase-shaped crown that spreads with age. Its rich green, regularly divided leaves color brilliantly in autumn, when the yellow berries, carried in drooping bunches, ripen.

JAPANESE ROWAN

This is a handsome rowan with ascending, eventually spreading, branches. It has white flowers in spring, and regularly divided leaves that color richly in autumn. Large bunches of red berries are borne from autumn onwards. 'Embley' is a superb cultivar.

ROWAN sorbus scalaris

The glossy green leaves of this wide-spreading tree grow in neat rosettes, and turn red and purple in autumn. Flattened white flower heads appear in late spring, and its large, densely packed bunches of red berries persist from autumn into winter.
