A rare species of rowan with glorious autumn colour native to parts of Sichuan province in China. Sorbus scalaris has delicate, frond-like, dark green leaves which turn shades of rich reddish-purple, gold and orange in autumn before falling.

Clusters of small white flowers in spring are followed by densely packed, bright orange-red berries in autumn. An excellent tree for small gardens!
