A great small-garden tree...

FEATURED VARIETY Sorbus koehneana ‘White Swan’ This is probably the smallest of the Sorbus family [reducta excepted] and it is therefore strange that it does not attract more attention. It is certainly an extremely elegant small bushy tree with finely cut leaves and drooping clusters of porcelain white fruits. First named by Ernest Wilson in 1910, Sorbus Koehneana was discovered in China. The form ‘White Swan’ is a very garden worthy selection with neat habit and a prolific berry producer each year. The leaves turn a wonderful plum purple in October and November. Hardy, suitable for most soils except the waterlogged. Ultimate dimensions probably no more than 6 x 4’. Will also do well in a large container using a good loam based compost.
