Sorbus commixta ‘Embley’ | Japanese Rowan Tree

This is a truly unique Rowan which produces incredible fluffy corymbs of creamy flowers in early summer which, along with their plentiful fruit in autumn, prove very popular with wildlife and birds in particular. It’s foliage produces one of the most spectacular autumn displays of any tree turning an incredible vibrant scarlet red.

The autumn berries are a gorgeous orange colour which is slightly lighter than the more red Commixta but according to the wildlife, they’re just as tasty.The tree has a more compact, neater habit than the standard Commixta and is slightly smaller in size so perfect for a more confined space.. Like most Rowans, this is a very robust tree which will thrive in most conditions but does prefer a bit of sun and like slightly acidic soils.
