Sorbus aucuparia 'Sheerwater Seedling'
mountain ash, Rowan (syn. Sorbus aucuparia 'Sheerwater')
A tall, upright tree with rich green leaves that turn deep red and yellow in autumn, especially after a cool summer. In late spring, sprays of tiny white flowers cover the tree and are followed by bunches of red berries in autumn. Like all mountain ashes, 'Sheerwater Seedling' can tolerate a variety of conditions and because of its tall, narrow shape, it's perfect for where space is limited.
