Mountain Ash Characteristics
This is spreading tree with rich green leaves that turn almost fluorescent red and yellow in autumn and clusters of small white flowers mask the tree in late spring. Crimson berries in autumn with great foliage colours.
Mountain Ash or Rowan is a conical-shaped tree and ideal for a small, urban garden even those in colder parts of the UK. It will tolerate coastal and exposed conditions, wet sites, chalk and clay although shallow chalk it may suffer.
Mountain Ash Height
A medium height tree, so expect a height of around 6-8m after 10 years. Mountain Ash is quite a columnar tree so expect its width to be around a third of its height.
Should you require more than one tree then you may want to look at our WHOLESALE MOUNTAIN ASH section.

Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Tree?
Usually no, especially if under 200cm tall. Our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Usually air and light is reduced and if it is a corner with a wooden fence and the house then leeching from both could compound issues. Try to avoid.
1 Year Maiden Bare Root Trees
If you plant a 1 Year maiden tree and do not prune it at all, it will grow a little more upright and have more clear stem.
Sorbus Not Flowering
Sounds like it might need a fertilizer. Nitrogen encourages leafy growth, often at the expense of flowers and fruit. Select a fruit tree specific fertilizer, or use a fertilizer that promotes flowers, such as "0-10-10" or "15-30-15." The numbers represent the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contained by the fertilizer. Berry production does vary each year due in to weather conditions.
