Specimen Tree part Deux
In article , andrewpreece
writes 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. 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, Yes, I'm fairly sure one of the ones I planted was Joseph Rock. Your description is about right. I'm growing it on wet clay at 400ft in Yorkshire. It's healthy and trouble free. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
