Mountain ash (Rowan) is a beautiful small tree that produces clusters of white spring flowers followed by bright orange berries. It prefers well-draining soil and benefits from regular watering during establishment, becoming more drought tolerant with age. This four-season tree attracts birds and pollinators while providing excellent ornamental value.
