Clusters of flowers appear in late Spring, and are followed by red berries in Autumn, when the foliage of the tree turns russet brown
Planting
From Mid Autumn TO Late Autumn
Plant rowan tree in Autumn, when the young tree is dormant, in a site that gets full sun, or in a partial shade. Dig a hole three times the width of the root ball, place the tree in the hole, and fill in the soil around it. Water it in well.
Flowering
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Rowans flower in Spring. The flowers are creamy white, and are followed by the clusters of orange-red berries
Propagating by cuttings
From Mid Spring TO Mid Spring
Propagate rowan trees by taking cuttings 15-20 cms.from green wood in Spring, after the last frost. Remove lower leaves from the cutting, leaving just the last 2 or 3, then dip the end of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, plant the cutting in a pot of moist sand, and place in a warm place until the cuttings root.
