Sorbus frutescens is a species of rowan native to Gansu province of China. Often mistakenly lumped in with Sorbus koehneana, it is a very small tree reaching only 2 m at maturity, with white fruit against dark green pinnate leaves which turn shades of red and bronze in autumn.
It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit as an ornamental.
