            Mike's Opinion

this is Mike

"

A native Sorbus that is often multi-stemmed and can attain a height of 5 m. It is often found growing on poor soils in open areas where it is stunted or on moist bog and swamp areas and is considered of marginal landscape value. It produces large cymes of creamy white flowers in June/July, which results in orange to red berries. Foliage has an intense yellow colour in autumn.
