Sorbus alnifolia
Korean Mountain Ash
Korean mountain ash (Sorbus alnifolia) offers white spring flowers, colorful fruits, and a rounded mature crown. It performs best where summers stay comparatively cool and the roots have moisture without stagnant drainage.
Its structure combines a tapered crown and a rounded outline. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring brown and orange tones.
Choose a sunny, open site. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture. Choose a location with cool summers.
