Sorbus aucuparia ‘Chinese Lace’

Sorbus aucuparia ‘Chinese Lace’, commonly known as Rowan, is an attractive deciduous ornamental tree valued for its finely cut foliage, white spring flowers and bright red berries. It is an excellent choice for lawns, mixed borders, smaller gardens and wildlife-friendly planting.

The tree develops an elegant habit with leaves that are deeply divided into delicate green leaflets, giving the foliage a light and finely textured appearance. In autumn, the leaves turn attractive shades of red and yellow, creating a colourful seasonal display.

In spring, clusters of white flowers appear amongst the fresh foliage, providing an attractive display and an important source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects.

The flowers are followed by clusters of bright red berries, which provide further autumn interest and are an important food source for birds and other wildlife.

With its finely textured foliage, colourful autumn display and wildlife-friendly berries, Sorbus aucuparia ‘Chinese Lace’ is a lovely choice for adding colour, texture and seasonal interest to the garden.
