or - the wrong sorbus.
I used to have a very lovely Sorbus cashmeiriana, but it up and died last year which was rather a shame. Except it was not quite dead, so I decided to buy a new sorbus but wait a little before buying a direct replacement; I bought a very lovely Sorbus Joseph Rock.
I planted the tree and waited for it to flower, which it very obligingly did in this its first year.
I waited for the berries to form, which they obligingly did.
I waited for the berries to colour up, which they obligingly did and I posted a proud photograph of my beautiful little tree.
It is a very beautiful tree, but it is not a Joseph Rock as someone pointed out to me. The berries should be yellow.
This is a bit irritating, but at the end of the day it is still a beautiful tree. I might just have to buy a Joseph Rock though now....

Sorbus hupehensis maybe? The pink pagoda tree.
ReplyDeleteYes I think it might be - thanks
DeleteIrritating, but actually this is a very beautiful one too, so up to buy the Joseph Rock as well, then you have two nice trees. I have learned to love Sorbus trees, as my neighbours have planted some years ago a various variety of Sorbuses in their little meadow and I jus can see them from my kitchen door, very nicel
