Family Rosaceae

Sorbus aucuparia ‘Fastigiata’, commonly known as the fastigiate rowan, is a deciduous tree with a very narrow columnar habit, ideal for small gardens, vertical hedges, or aligned plantings. In spring, it adorns itself with corymbs of white flowers that give way in summer to clusters of bright red fruits, much appreciated by birds, adding significant ecological interest. Its dark green compound foliage turns yellow, orange, or bright red in autumn, providing beautiful seasonal coloration. With average growth and great hardiness down to -34°C, it adapts to various types of well-drained soils in sunny to partial shade exposures. Low-maintenance, it effectively structures spaces while promoting biodiversity.
