Plant of the Moment

Here we feature plants that have caught our attention recently.

This is sorbus aucuparia ‘autumn spire’, a fabulous tree which has an upright growth habit.

A deciduous tree with simple or pinnate leaves and clusters of small white flowers in spring, then followed by yellow berries which contrasts amazingly with the autumn firework show in autumn.
