Looking for a small tree or shrub that thrives in urban environments? Look no further than Sorbus intermedia, also known as Swedish Mountain Ash. This native of northern Europe is tolerant of pollution and can be found in streets and parks throughout the region. Its dense rounded crown and tolerance of maritime exposure make it ideal for use in shelterbelt plantings, while regular trimming can turn it into a dense deciduous hedge. The tree produces white flowers with pale pink anthers in clusters up to 4 inches, followed by oval 1/2 inch orange-red or red-brown fruit. The fruit is edible and enjoyed by thrushes and waxwings, which help disperse its seeds. Plant Sorbus intermedia for its hardiness, beauty, and ability to attract wildlife.
