This description is for Rowan (Sorbus hupehensis):

The berries are likely to provide a white Christmas

A small , Sorbus hupehensis boasts many of the attributes that others of its genus do, but with strategic pruning its size can be kept down, making it a viable option for small gardens. Its common name is Hubei Rowan, its foliage is an interesting blue-green shade, and in spring, when its milk-white blossoms emerge, it seems to offer a last glimpse of winter. In autumn, the Hubei Rowan transforms to a fiery red colour, which complements its clusters of pale green berries that turn to white and then pink. It loves well-drained slightly acidic soil, and thrives in full sun.
