Pink Ness

Pink Ness is one of the best of the pink-fruited rowans. The berries are candy-floss pink, and contrast very attractively with the matt green leaves.

The leaves gradually turn orange and red in the late autumn.

Pink Ness grows with a neat columnar habit.

Growing and Training

For the best leaf and berry colours, plant Pink Ness in a sunny position in a good well-drained soils. Like most rowans it is fairly tolerant of urban air pollution.

History

The name Pink Ness is a nice play on the pink-coloured berries, and Ness Botanic Gardens where it was raised.
