Rocks Mountain Ash trees are an outstanding choice to add colour and interest to a small garden. They also have a special feature - the berries are amber yellow and birds do not realise that they can be eaten, leaving them on the tree as decoration for the entire season!

Sorbus 'Joseph Rock' has pinnate foliage which is a light to mid green in summer and matures to a stunning display of red, orange, copper, scarlet and purple in autumn. This truly amazing colour palette will have the children collecting leaves for their autumn school projects and art classes. The tree offers corymbs of creamy white flowers in April and May which turn into the luscious berries as the weather cools down. The contrast between the yellow berries and scarlet leaves create an awe-inspiring focal point in a garden.

Plant your tree in full sun. It is fully hardy and enjoys moist but well-drained sites. It has a tall, neat, upright form and can reach heights of 6m with a spread of 3m in a 20 year period.

As a holder of an RHS Award of Garden Merit, this tree is an excellent choice for a small to medium garden that needs some uplifting, interest and colour. Plant as a stand alone ornamental specimen or plant in a row to create a screen along a wall or to line a driveway.
