Sunshine Rowan, Large Trees

Sorbus Sunshine: Bareroot Yellow Berried Rowan Trees in Standard Sizes

It is similar to its parent, the yellow berried Chinese rowan Joseph Rock, with darker green leaves and bigger berries that ripen into their rich lemon yellow colour earlier, gradually deepening with more orange tones. Sunshine boasts richly tinted autumn foliage (again earlier than its parent), and theoretically retains its distinctive berries well after leaf fall, provided the birds don't steal them. The flower corymbs in early summer are white and popular with insects.

Delivery season: Rowan trees are delivered bareroot during late autumn and winter, approximately November-March inclusive.
Choosing a size: Small trees are cheaper, easier to handle and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our bareroot trees are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).
