American Mountain-Ash is a smooth-barked, deciduous shrub or small tree that grows 10 to 30 feet tall in full sun to shade, and in cool, dry to moist soils. It has a short trunk, slender, spreading branches, and a narrow, open, round-topped crown. Its small, white flowers give way to clusters of bright red berries that attract birds.
