Overview
A compact, deciduous tree with yellow fruit and stunning foliage in the autumn.
 
Description
This fantastic compact Rowan tree is known for its clusters of creamy yellow fruits which persist well into late autumn. The pinnately compound leaves, green at emergence and through the summer, turn shades of orange, purple and red in the autumn.
 
Clusters of small white flowers give way to yellow fruit that hangs in bunches and is favoured by birds seeking food as summer comes to an end. The tree can be expected to achieve between 4m x 3m in 10 years and may be reach up to 6m in maturity.

It could be incorporated into a small garden as a feature tree, given the airy and delicate quality of its crown. This tree will tolerate full sun or partial shade, and any planting aspect. It also copes well in sheltered or exposed settings. Its soil preference is loam, sand or clay with either an acidic or neutral pH.
