'''''Sorbus sargentiana''''' ('''Sargent's Rowan'''; {{zh|c=晚绣花楸 ''wan xiu hua qiu''}}) is a species of [[rowan]] native to southwestern [[Sichuan]] and northern [[Yunnan]] in [[China]], where it grows at altitudes of 2,000–3,200 m.<ref name=foc>Flora of China: [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200011714 ''Sorbus sargentiana'']</ref><ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''. Collins ISBN 0-00-220013-9.</ref> [[Image:Sorbus sargentiana2.jpg|left|thumb|Autumn colour]] It is a small to medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to 6–16 m tall, with trunk up to 50 cm diameter and a rounded crown. The [[bark]] is dark grey, and the shoots very stout, with large (1–2 cm), dark red, sticky resinous winter buds. The [[leaf|leaves]] are the largest of any rowan, dark green with impressed veining above, glaucous beneath, 20–35 cm long and 15–20 cm broad, with persistent 1 cm broad [[stipule]]s; they are [[leaf shape|pinnate]] with 9–11 oblong-lanceolate leaflets 5–14 cm long and 3.5–5 cm broad, with an acute apex, serrated margins; the basal leaflets are slightly smaller than the apical leaflets. They change to a rich orange-pink to purple or dark red in mid autumn. The [[flower]]s are 5–7 mm diameter, with five white petals and 20 yellowish-white stamens; they are produced 200–500 together in very large [[corymb]]s 12–25 cm diameter in late spring to early summer. The [[fruit]] is a [[pome]] 5–8 mm diameter, bright orange-red to red, maturing in early autumn; it is juicy, and readily eaten as soon as it is ripe by [[thrush (bird)|thrushes]], which disperse the [[seed]]s.<ref name=foc/><ref name=rushforth/> Outside of its native range, it is grown as an [[ornamental tree]] in western Europe for its bold foliage, huge clusters of fruit, and bright autumn colour.<ref name=rushforth/> ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
