Plant Description

Sorbus domestica, or service tree, is a deciduous tree valued for its distinctive oval leaves, which grow in a pinnate formation, creating a lush, feathery appearance. In spring, the tree blooms with clusters of small, white flowers that develop into round or pear-shaped fruits with a russet-red hue when mature. The fruit has a slightly acidic, yet subtly sweet flavor and is often used in jams, jellies, and traditional beverages. Typically reaching 10–20 meters, this long-lived tree is appreciated for its aesthetic appeal and is commonly found in Mediterranean regions.
