Rowan Tree – Sorbus aucuparia 150 Seeds | Fast Growing | Brilliant Fall Color European Mountain Ash | Orange Berries | Wildlife Friendly Tree

Grow your own Rowan Tree (Sorbus aucuparia), also known as European Mountain Ash — a fast-growing ornamental tree prized for its showy white spring flowers, vibrant fall foliage, and clusters of brilliant orange-red berries.

Native to Europe and Asia, this hardy deciduous tree grows 20–40 feet tall with an upright oval crown that gradually broadens with age. In May, flattened clusters of small white flowers bloom, followed by pendant clusters of bright orange-red berries in late summer and fall. The fruit persists into winter and attracts birds and wildlife, making this an excellent habitat and food source tree.

The compound green leaves turn striking shades of yellow to reddish-purple in autumn, providing outstanding seasonal color. Rowan is cold hardy (Zone 3), tolerant of urban conditions, and ideal for northern landscapes. It works beautifully as a specimen tree, shade tree, street tree, or even bonsai when young.

This 150-seed pack is ideal for larger plantings, wildlife projects, restoration areas, or ornamental landscaping.
