Thompson & Morgan Rowan Tree - Bare Root - White/Orange/Red Berries

Thompson & Morgan

The Mountain Ash, also known as the Rowan tree, is a captivating addition to any garden or hedgerow. This hardy tree establishes rapidly, making it an ideal choice for hedging due to its excellent response to regular pruning. Pruning encourages denser growth, creating a lush and substantial hedge. In spring, it bursts into bloom with delicate white flowers, followed by a spectacular display of vibrant orange-red berries in autumn. These berries add a striking splash of colour as the leaves begin to turn, ensuring your hedgerow remains a visual delight throughout the seasons. Sorbus aucuparia, supplied as bare root hedging, offers year-round visual appeal. Its finely textured leaves beautifully complement the spring blossoms and autumn berries, maintaining its aesthetic through the year. For a single-line hedge, plant approximately 45cm (18 inches) apart, with about 3 plants per metre. While the Rowan tree can grow to a mature height of 12m (39ft) and a spread of 8m (26ft), regular trimming will help maintain its desired hedge form. How to Grow - Light: Full sun to partial shade. - Temperature: Hardy in all seasons. - Watering: Water thoroughly during the initial establishment period, particularly during dry spells. - Feeding: Typically not needed, but a balanced fertilizer can be applied in spring if growth appears weak. - Humidity: No specific requirements; it adapts well to average garden humidity.
