Plant details
The Hubei rowan from western China is one of the best species for smaller gardens. Although eventually making a medium-sized tree, it can if necessary be pruned at any time to restrict size. It makes a bold statement at any season with its compact upright growth, and blue-grey leaves which turn a vibrant red in autumn. The long-stalked, creamy-white flowers form in generous 15cm (6in) heads, followed by loose bunches of red-stalked berries, pale green until autumn when they turn white with a delicate pink flush these often last late into winter. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
