Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) – Mature & Bare Root Trees

Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia), also known as Mountain Ash, is an attractive native deciduous tree valued for its delicate foliage, spring flowers, colourful autumn leaves and clusters of red-orange berries.

Its manageable form and year-round interest make Rowan a popular choice for gardens, wildlife planting, avenues and landscape schemes. Chedington Compost supplies Rowan trees in bare root and rootball sizes, including larger specimens for projects where greater immediate impact is required.

Choose Your Root Type

Our Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) trees are available in two root formats, so you can choose the option that best suits your planting season, project and budget.

Bare Root Rowan Trees

Available seasonally, typically from November to March, bare root Rowan trees are field-grown and lifted during dormancy with their roots exposed and soil-free.

They offer a cost-effective choice for larger planting schemes, avenues, woodland edges and projects where several trees are required.

Rootball Rowan Trees

Rootball Rowan trees are supplied with a firm ball of soil retained around the roots and wrapped in hessian for protection during lifting and transport.

This option is particularly suited to larger, more established trees and projects where greater immediate impact is required.

Available Sizes & Girth

Our Rowan trees are graded by girth (trunk circumference), a standard method used for established landscape trees. Girth gives a useful indication of the maturity and structure of the tree, helping you choose the right size for your garden or landscaping project.

Girth (cm)

7-10cm Rootball, 16-20cm Rootball, 20-25cm Rootball, 7-10cm Bare Root
