The Mountainash, European, Sorbus aucuparia, is known for its showy white flowers and its numerous bright red berries. Its alternate name "Rowan" comes from an old Scandinavian word meaning red. The odor of its white spring flowers is objectionable to some and should be considered when placing this tree near a walkway. The bark of this tree is smooth and dark gray, and is marked with horizontal lines. European Mountainash is planted for its ornamental qualities and as a source of food for birds. The fruits mature in the late spring but often remain on a tree through fall and into early winter. Best used as a specimen plant, it is upright when young and spreading at maturity. The Mountain Ash is a vigorous and rapidly growing tree and can reach heights of 25' to 40' and widths of 16' to 25'. Plant in a cool moist location and does better in full sun but will tolerate some shade. Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils.
