Pratt’s Ornamental Rowan

A pretty Chinese species of rowan, Sorbus prattii is a large shrub or a small, deciduous tree with a spreading habit, growing as wide as it is tall as it matures. Small heads of white flowers in late spring are followed in autumn by green berries which mature to pearly white as they persist into winter. The leaves are blue-green, and of typical rowan shape, briefly, though not reliably, turning gold and purple-red.
