Greene's mountain ash
Sorbus scopulina
Greene's mountain ash is a stunning native shrub or small tree known for its flat-topped white flower clusters in late spring and brilliant orange-red berry clusters in fall that are beloved by birds. It thrives in cool, mountainous climates with partial shade and consistently moist, well-drained soil. Minimal pruning is needed, and its striking four-season interest makes it an excellent choice for naturalistic or wildlife gardens.
