Overview & Description
Luxor Pyramidal Mountain Ash (Sorbus aucuparia ‘Luxor’) is a dense, columnar tree prized for its narrow branching habit and multi-season ornamental appeal. Clusters of white spring blooms mature to bright orange berries that persist into fall and winter, providing striking colour and food for birds. The dark green leaflets turn a rich red in autumn, adding to the seasonal display. This improved selection offers classic Mountain Ash beauty in a space-saving, pyramidal form.
Growth & Size
This variety exhibits a dense, columnar, pyramidal growth habit with upright branching. It is a moderate-growing tree, typically reaching a mature size of about 20 – 23 feet in height with a spread of 10 feet.
Additional Notes
It blooms in spring with clusters of white flowers. Hardy to Zone 3, it prefers slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil and is intolerant of wet conditions. An outstanding choice for smaller gardens, street plantings, tight spaces, and bird-friendly landscapes where dense columnar form, white spring blooms, bright orange berries, red fall foliage, and cold hardiness are desired.
