Pyramidal Mountain Ash
What: This Pyramidal Mountain Ash (Sorbus aucuparia ‘Fastigiata’) variety is not native to North America. It’s an ornamental tree with a narrowly upright and columnar growth habit and with large clusters of white spring flowers, brilliant fall foliage, and persistent orange-red berry clusters. These striking berries provide invaluable food for birds while adding vibrant color to the winter landscape.
Best use: Use Mountain Ash as a narrow, columnar accent tree. It has clusters of white flowers in spring followed by red berries into winter. Its striking berries and flowers make it an excellent addition to wildlife gardens, where birds will flock to it in fall and winter.
