CARDINAL ROYAL MOUNTAIN ASH
Sorbus aucuparia 'Michred' is commonly referred to as Cardinal Royal® Mountain Ash. It is a narrow, deciduous tree with upright branches and a very symmetrical habit. In spring, clusters of white flowers are followed by small, attractive, bright red berries in abundance which contrast beautifully with the dark greenish-silver foliage. In fall, the leaves turn an attractive bronze color before dropping to reveal smooth, olive green bark which provides winter interest.
Cardinal Royal® Mountain Ash thrives in full sun. It enjoys both dry and moist conditions as long as they are well-draining. It is tolerant of urban pollution and can thrive in city environments. This is a beautiful tree and ideal for shade or accent plantings.
