Sorbus Sheerwater Seedling
Mountain Ash Tree
The 'Sheerwater Seedling' is the perfect tree for a restricted space as this Mountain Ash has an upright habit and maintains a narrow spread. The ascending branches are clothed in mid-green leaves which are accompanied by sprays of white flowers in spring. This tree offers a delightful autumn display as the leaves fade to orange and clusters of orange-red fruits appear in abundance. The fruits are popular with wildlife and they hold on the tree well into winter. This tree will provide you with year round interest and works well as a specimen or at the back of a border.

Sorbus torminalis
Wild Service Tree
Common Name: Wild Service Tree Latin Name: Sorbus torminalis Soil: Most well drained soilsPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: April to May/WhiteHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height: 11m/6mSpecial features: Dark brown fruits that are usually ripe in SeptemberThe 'Wild Service Tree', as it is commonly known, is actually a British native; it is a rare find in woodland today, but it was cherished by foragers many years ago due to its deliciously sweet fruits. It is said that people would hang the fruits to dry and enjoy them as a sweet treat. Aside from the small fruits, the tree itself has a lot to offer. In spring, alongside the white flowers, glossy green leaves shoot through and these hold their colour until autumn; at this time they fade to russet reds and oranges. On mature specimens, the bark adds winter interest as it peels away in rectangular strips. A great choice for a feature tree.
