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 color up, which they obligingly did and I posted a proud photograph of my beautiful little tree.
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....
