Growing Information

Plant the American Mountain Ash in full sun to partial shade locations with moist, well-draining soil. It prefers consistent moisture, especially during establishment. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove any dead branches. This tree is best planted directly in the ground and is not container friendly.
