Sorbus

These very ornamental trees split very roughly into two groups; the Mountain Ash that have divided or 'pinnate' leaves and the Whitebeam group that have entire leaves only occasionally lobed. Tidy growers, they are particularly well known for their large range of autumn berries that may be coloured white, yellow, pink, orange, red or russet. Most of the Mountain Ash group end the autumn with their foliage a blaze of colour amongst the berries.
