Rowan Chinese Lace

One of the smallest rowans, Sorbus ‘Chinese Lace’ is a small, upright, deciduous tree of misleadingly delicate appearance. Creamy-white flowers flowers appear in May, followed in late summer by long clusters of long-lasting deep red berries. The leaves are very distinctive, dark green, and deeply divided to give a lacy appearance, turning reddish-purple in autumn. Rowan Chinese Lace is fast-growing, and makes a lovely specimen tree for the small garden.
