Sorbus 'Sheerwater Seedling', or Sorbus Aucuparia, is a compact and upright Mountain Ash Tree, making it a perfect choice for smaller gardens or urban spaces. With its neat, columnar shape, this variety of Mountain Ash makes a wonderful feature tree, providing year-round interest with minimal maintenance.
In late spring, Sorbus 'Sheerwater Seedling' produces a stunning display of creamy-white flowers, which attract all kinds of bees and other pollinators. As summer progresses, the flowers give way to bright red berries that persist well into autumn, providing a valuable food source for birds.
Meanwhile, the lush green foliage turns to rich shades of orange, red, and gold in autumn, creating a stunning autumnal display.
One of our favourite features of Sorbus Aucuparia is its narrow, upright growth habit, which makes it ideal for planting in smaller gardens, driveways, or as part of a mixed border.
Despite its sleek, slender form, Sorbus Sheerwater Seedling is tough, fully hardy, and tolerant of urban pollution, making it a great choice for city and suburban gardens.
Sorbus Aucuparia Seedling performs best in well-drained, fertile soil and enjoys a position in full sun or partial shade. Once established, it requires very little attention, other than occasional pruning to maintain its shape.
