The [[leaf|leaves]] are 20–30 cm long, [[leaf shape|pinnate]] with between 11-17 leaflets 4–7 cm long and 1–2.5 cm broad, with an acuminate apex and serrated margins; they change to a deep purple or red in autumn. The [[flower]]s are 6–10 mm diameter, with five white petals and 20 yellowish-white stamens; they are produced in [[corymb]]s 9–15 cm diameter in late spring to early summer. The [[fruit]] is a bright orange to red [[pome]] 7–8 mm diameter, maturing in autumn.<ref name=ous/><ref name=rushforth/><ref name=kp>Kanagawa Plants: [http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-nanakamado.htm ''Sorbus commixta''] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-nanakamado.htm&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation])</ref> Plants from [[Hokkaidō]], the [[Kuril Islands]] and [[Sakhalin]] are sometimes distinguished as ''Sorbus commixta'' var.
