You will receive a healthy specimen approximately 6 feet tall.
Yes, Sorbus Vilmorinii thrives in full sun but is also quite happy in semi-shaded areas.
While it starts in a 7.5-litre pot, for long-term health, it is best planted in the ground or a very large decorative container that is frequently monitored for water and nutrients.
Late winter, while the tree is in its dormant phase, is the ideal time for structural pruning.
Yes, the berries are a common attractant for various garden birds during the autumn and winter months.
This is often a sign of transplant shock; ensure the tree is receiving adequate water and is shielded from extreme, drying winds until established.
Check the soil drainage to ensure the roots are not waterlogged, and consider a balanced fertilizer application during the early spring.
To ensure your Rowan Mountain Ash establishes correctly, dig a planting hole twice the width of the 7.5-litre pot. Gently tease the roots before placing the tree, ensuring the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil surface. Backfill with high-quality compost mixed with your existing soil. Water thoroughly upon planting and maintain a consistent moisture schedule—especially during the first summer. Adding a layer of mulch around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning should be kept to removing dead or crossing branches, as well as light trimming to maintain your desired height.
