Description

Popular and spectacular, Sorbus x 'Joseph Rock' is known for its superb autumn colour and was introduced to the west after it was found in China in the early twentieth century by the famed plant hunter, Joseph Rock.

This mountain ash has cool green, pinnate (feather-like) leaves which turn fabulous shades blood red in autumn before falling. This excellent autumn colour is complimented by large clusters of bright yellow fruit!
