Sorbus alnifolia (Korean Mountain Ash)

Sorbus alnifolia (Korean Mountain Ash)

A graceful, ornamental tree with year-round appeal, the Korean Mountain Ash stands out for its clean structure, glossy foliage, and abundant late-season fruit. Unlike many mountain ash species, Sorbus alnifolia features simple, elm-like leaves rather than the typical fern-like form, giving it a distinctive and elegant look in the landscape.

In spring, soft white flower clusters appear, followed by bright red berries that ripen in late summer and attract birds. Its foliage shifts to warm tones of yellow, orange, and red in fall, offering a striking seasonal display. Naturally rounded and well-behaved, this tree is an excellent choice for small to medium landscapes.
