Sargents Rowan Tree Options
150-200cm: 9-12L pot, 2-3 years old, usually half standard.
A somewhat unusual rowan or mountain ash tree. Sargents Rowan (Sorbus sargentiana) is a slow-growing tree with stout shoots of large, sticky red buds in winter, not dis-similar to those of Horse Chestnut. In spring, large, dark green leaves are formed. These turn an intense orange and red colour in autumn. Its pretty white flowers are produced in early summer usually followed by attractive red berries which are quickly devoured by birds. We would recommend this tree for a small garden as it will only reach a final height of 9m(30ft)
Sargents Rowan or Mountian Ash is supplied in a 7-12L container, which means that the tree has an already established root system and therefore this tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.

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.
Sorbus Not Flowering
Sounds like it might need a fertilizer. Nitrogen encourages leafy growth, often at the expense of flowers and fruit. Select a fruit tree specific fertilizer, or use a fertilizer that promotes flowers, such as "0-10-10" or "15-30-15." The numbers represent the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contained by the fertilizer. Berry production does vary each year due in to weather conditions.
