Zones 3-9 - A unique true mountain ash found growing in the wild in
Russia. Unlike other mountain ash, Rabina has remarkably good tasting
fruit with a sweet-tart, non-bitter flavor. High in vitamins A and C,
the abundant bright orange berries are good for fresh eating, juice,
preserves, pastry and wine. The small ornamental trees grow up to 20
feet tall and have attractive pinnate foliage that turns orange-red in
fall. 3 to 5 ft. bareroot trees.

We have a Ukrainian immigrant who works for us
and she got really excited when she saw the plants (and fruit). She
remembered eating it in Russia where they call it
"Rabinia" (requires a
tongue roll on the RRRRRR).
