Very pretty feathery foliage of numerous olive green leaflets cover this elegant tree and turn dark crimson in autumn. Creamy white flowers are followed by pendulous clusters of berries which fade from red to white as the season progresses.

The berries of Sorbus vilmorinii last well into the winter, making this the perfect multi-season and wildlife friendly tree for the smaller garden.


  • Garden care:
    Plant out as soon as possible after delivery and keep well watered until established. When planting, incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Requires minimal pruning, but broken, diseased or crossing branches can be removed in late autumn or winter.
