Sorbus commixta is a compact, conical, deciduous tree, with ascending crown when young and broad oval when mature and pinnate, dark green leaves, red, yellow, and purple in autumn. Small, creamy-white flowers bloom in spring and are followed by clusters of bright orange berries in autumn. Attractive to birds and bees. Japanese Mountain Ash thrives in moderately fertile, slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils, but is adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, except waterlogged. It grows best in full sun to partial shade. It is resistant to frost, wind, and urban pollution, but doesn’t like maritime exposure. Low maintenance plant. Sorbus commixta is one of the best Mountain Ash trees for autumn colour. Very decorative and resilient, it is perfect as a specimen or accent plant in cottage, wildlife or urban gardens with limited space. Great for streets and avenues. Suitable for growing in containers on patios and roof gardens.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
