Question
Hello there, I have been wondering if these trees are Northern Mountain Ash. I greatly appreciate your expertise as well as species ID. Thank you, SueLB
Answer
Dear SueLB, this looks like Sorbus aucuparia (European mountain-ash). The leaflets have the correct length to width ratio and the branchlets and winter buds are quite hairy. This is the usual species (unfortunately) in the horticulture trade, so it is routinely planted.
