✅ You are purchasing one European Mountain Ash (Sorbus aucuparia) tree, a 1-year-old plant measuring  1-2 ft tall. During dormancy, it is sent bare-root with roots wrapped in wet media and secured inside a box. Once growth begins in May, it is sent in a container with soil.

✅ This hardy tree thrives in U.S.D.A. zones 3-6 and prefers cooler climates. It grows well in dry, rocky areas to moist, rich woods but does not tolerate hot locations. It prefers full sun and reaches a mature height of up to 65 feet.

✅ European Mountain Ash features smooth grayish-yellow bark and long, compound leaves with sharp-toothed edges that turn orange-red in autumn. It produces white or pink flowers and small, orange-red fruits in late August and September. The fruit, traditionally used in rowanberry wine, mead, ale, cider, and jelly, is bitter and requires significant sweetening.

✅ This tree has a rich history of medicinal and cultural significance, often referred to as the “Tree of Protection and Vision.” Its wood is ideal for carving and making walking sticks. The berries attract wildlife, serving as a valuable food source for birds such as ruffed grouse, red-headed woodpeckers, robins, bluebirds, and orioles.

✅ Sent with tracking within the United States. International buyers should contact me before purchasing, as I do not send to all countries due to plant entry restrictions.
