Sorbus pseudohupehensis ‘Pink Pagoda’ (Chinese Mountain Ash)

Sorbus pseudohupehensis ‘Pink Pagoda’ (Chinese Mountain Ash) is a compact medium-sized deciduous tree of broadly columnar habit with blue-green, pinnate leaves that turn brilliant red in the fall. In late spring, a profusion of tiny white flowers held in flat-topped clusters are produced. They are quickly followed by abundant clusters of showy, bright pink berries that last well into winter. Attractive in form, elegant in flower, and colorful in fruit and foliage, Sorbus pseudohupehensis ‘Pink Pagoda’ stars in almost every season of the year. A great tree for small gardens.
