Hello,

Further to my request for info on interesting specimen trees, I am now
down to four candidates; acacia dealbata, amelanchier, robinia pseudoacacia
"frisia", and the Rowan ( Sorbus Aucuparia ).

The Rowan, or Mountain Ash did not show up on the list of
suggestions offered in response to my original question, but I reckon it's
got
a lot going for it.

It did here.

I was particularly interested in the variety "Joseph
Rock",
allegedly with bright green leaves, white pannicles of flowers in the
spring,
with excellent autumn colours and persistent yellow berries that the birds
seem to turn their noses up at. Peaks out at 25 foot, but 20 foot in 20
years
seems to be the average initial growth rate, so manageable for a small
garden.

Does anyone here have any experience of this variety? I should
appreciate an opinion from someone who has one in their garden, if they're
looking in,

There is at least on in St. Mary's Parish Churchyard, Diss, should you
feel like a trip into civilisation....
