    Larger than American Mountain Ash with white flowers in spring, green leaflets in summer turning orange in fall. Reddish-orange ornamental berries persist through winter. In my area they are a favorite of large flocks of Waxwings and by mid winter are stripped clean of berries.

    Prune while dormant to direct branching and eliminate crossing or rubbing branches. Fertilize in spring.
