Mountain Ash Trees, Rowans, or Whitebeams are deciduous, tall woody shrubs to small trees with oval, serrated or feathered, glossy dark green leaves. They make compact umbels with white, creamy-white to greenish-yellow flowers followed by most ornamental salmon-pink, orange-red to dark brownish-red berries in late summer and autumn. For any humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot. All species are very adoptable and robust. Seeds are always very scarce and selecting pure seed is extremely time and material consuming.
Sow seeds flat in any rich, well drained soil, slightly moist soil. Keep pots in a sunny spot outside during winter. Seeds require a cooling period for several months before they germinate in following spring. After germination keep seedlings slightly drier. Plant out from spring to autumn as soon as young plants are strong enough.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6, unless not stated differently.
