Japanese Rowan Grown for its almost year-round interest, Sorbus commixta is a medium-sized deciduous tree of compact, conical, upright habit. Creamy-white flowers up to 6”/15cm acr oss appear in May, followed in late summer by red or orange-red berries, which hold on the tree well into winter. The leaves are dark green, similar to the native rowan’s, turning yellow, then fiery red and purple in autumn. The Japanese Rowan is also good for pollinators and wild birds.
