Sorbus 'Joseph Rock' (Mountain Ash Tree)

Sorbus 'Joseph Rock' (Mountain Ash Tree) Code: SBS009

£42.95 42.9500 In Stock New

Sorbus 'Joseph Rock'

Closely related to our British native rowan, this popular variety is renowned for its heavy bunches of small brilliant yellow berries which last well in to the winter before they become a treat for hungry birds. In the spring, the tree is covered in clusters of creamy white flowers that are popular with bees. The pinnate foliage is light/mid green, turning vibrant red, orange and purple in the autumn and setting off the yellow berries beautifully. An outstanding small tree which will tolerate most soils and can be planted in full sun or lightly dappled shade.


Height x spread in 10 years: up to 6m (20ft) x 4m (13ft).


Available for delivery: late November/December - early May.


 

This genus of about 100 species which includes the Mountain Ash (Rowan) and Whitebeam is one of the most diverse and rewarding of tree groups for the garden. The trees are deciduous and are grown for their creamy white blossom, colourful berries, leaf shape and stunning autumn leaf colours. Sorbus berries (particularly aucuparia) can be used to make delicious jellies (similar to crab apple jelly) and are also an excellent source of food for birds. A collection of Sorbus can attract a wide variety of birds over several months as they will take the red berries first, leaving the other colours until later. The trees are generally small to medium in size and are hardy and easy to grow on most soils. They will tolerate windy coastal conditions and urban pollution. Sorbus trees are supplied bare-rooted and unless otherwise stated will be approximately 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) high on despatch (including the roots). Trees are available from late November to late April.

 

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order. All young trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
