Sorbus pseudovilmorinii is, as the name suggests, a form of Sorbus vilmorinii. It is a somewhat smaller and more delicate in appearance.
A particularly attractive feature is the persistent fruitlets, which are crimson red at first, but pass through pink and eventually white shades as autumn progresses into winter.

This is one of the smaller rowans, making it a good choice if space is limited.
This form of Sorbus vilmorinii was raised at the University of Liverpool botanic gardens, from seed from China - where the species is native.
Illustrative example of a pot-grown tree of this variety as supplied. Approximate girth: 6/8cm. We try to keep all pot-grown trees down to about 1.5m as supplied, but some may be larger. Trees should reach their mature height after about 10 or more years.
We list more than 50 Sorbus (rowan and whitebeam) trees. Choosing can be difficult! Our article explaining the different berry and leaf colours might help narrow down the selection.
