Sorbus frutescens is a species of rowan native to Gansu province of China.[2] Often mistakenly lumped in with Sorbus koehneana, it is a very small tree reaching only 2 m at maturity, with white fruit[3] against dark green pinnate leaves which turn shades of red and bronze in autumn.
It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit as an ornamental.[4]
