Joseph Rock (sorbus 'joseph rock') is a spectacular mountain ash because of its tiny, bright green leaflets that turn lovely shades of orange, purple and red in autumn. Groups of pearly white flowers develop in spring and are followed in autumn by beautiful small yellow berries, which are loved by birds. Joseph rock is able to withstand a wide range of soils and conditions.
A small tree, so expect a height of around 4m after 10 years.

Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
