Mine which is 20yrs old is about 15ft tall. they don't get much bigger than that. they respond to pollarding, the local council turned a street of them into lollipops and int he autumn with the berries and red leaves looked stunning.
I have left mine au natural. I personally think it is one of the nicest small native trees there is. Its going to be a good year for blossom.

Thanks...do you know the name of the variety that has red berries...I think Joseph sorbus has yellow berries but I would like red.

Rowans are supposed to protect you against witchcraft - you never know when this might come in handy...

mine is grown from a berry that I collected in the wild. they are a deep orange rather than a true red. So, sorry I cant give it a varietal name.

I knew that about witchcraft Stera it was one of the folklore stories I was told as a child. :o)

Lol Sbg. We don't believe the witchcraft stories, so why do I apologise to my elder when I have to cut a branch off....

Be careful it's not planted close to a pathway. We have one alongside a driveway which is then covered in red berries and 'walked' into the house and stains the carpet. I now cut off the berries as they appear in the late summer.
