Sorbus pohuashanensis - Medicinal Herbs,Ornamental Fruit - Amur Mountain Ash Page

Looking for an ornamental tree that is fast-growing, hardy, and native to northern China? Look no further than Sorbus pohuashanensis Amur Mountain Ash. This small tree features compound leaves, clusters of white flowers up to 4" in size, and 1/4" orange-red fruit. While it can tolerate light shade, it thrives in an open sunny position where it can produce more fruit. However, it dislikes dry soils and requires moist soil to grow properly. This tree can be enjoyed as an ornamental in a woodland garden, canopy, or in a sunny edge. While its fruit is edible, it has a rather bitter flavor. Sorbus pohuashanensis is also self-fertile and produces seeds from September to October. It is a deciduous tree that can grow up to 10 m tall and is hardy to zone 5, making it suitable for most reasonably good soils. It can also tolerate strong winds but not maritime exposure. Plant this tree today and watch it grow fast, especially in the first few years from seed!
