Cascade Mountain Ash (Sorbus scopulina) grows to be a small tree at lower elevations, but at McKenzie Pass in an exposed location not far below timberline, it grows about four feet high. This shot was taken in the lava fields in the early fall when the bush was covered with ripe, vivid red berries. The peaks are two of the Three Sisters, the North Sister and the Middle Sister.
Cascade Mountain Ash makes a great landscape shrub in the native plant garden.
