Description
commonly known as Late Mountain Ash or Autumn Mountain Ash, is a deciduous tree known for its attractive foliage and clusters of white flowers that bloom in spring, followed by vibrant red or orange berries in autumn. Growing to about 10-15 meters in height, this tree thrives in cooler, temperate regions of Australia, particularly in areas that mimic its native European habitat. It prefers well-drained, fertile soils and does best in full sun to partial shade. In Australia, Sorbus serotina can be used as an ornamental tree in gardens or parks, offering seasonal interest and supporting local birdlife with its berries. It may struggle in very hot or dry climates, so it’s best suited to regions with moderate temperatures and regular rainfall.
