Mountain Ash is a native deciduous shrub of the far western United States and British Columbia. It most typically grows in mountain habitats although does well in the lowland. It is a multiple-stemmed, somewhat open shrub that can reach 10 feet in height. The shrubs are outstanding for their flowers and their showy fruits. Growing in open areas at the edges of meadow, this species does best in well-drained sites.

The pinnate leaves are divided into 9 or 11 oblong leaflets that are pointed at the tip and toothed. They are shiny green above and pale below. In autumn they are bronze-colored. The flat-topped flower clusters are composed of many white flowers. Attractive to birds, the fruit is red, round, and borne in large clusters and persists on the branches.

These plants were grown from seed and are two years old.
