'Copper Kettle' is a compact and deciduous Rowan tree with spreading branches. Its mid- to deep green leaves are divided into pairs of toothed leaflets, creating an attractive foliage that transitions into vibrant shades of orange and red during autumn. In spring, the tree is adorned with clusters of creamy-white flowers, followed by heavy clusters of dynamic copper-colored fruit that persist well into the winter months, eventually turning golden-yellow with age. This small tree is not only attracts pollinators but is also a favourite among wild birds. Its striking appearance and persistent fruits make it a delightful addition to any small to medium garden.
