Sorbus commixta, the Japanese rowan, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to central and eastern China, Korea, Japan, and Sakhalin (in the Russian Far East).

The fruit is a bright orange to red pome 7–8 mm in diameter, maturing in autumn.

[2][3][5] Plants from Hokkaidō, the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin are sometimes distinguished as Sorbus commixta' var.

[3] Sorbus commixta is grown as an ornamental tree, hardy in zones 5-9.

A number of cultivars have been selected, the most popular being 'Embley' (with fastigiate branching) and 'Serotina' (flowering later in early summer).
