Plant Description

The Sorbus torminalis, also known as the wild service tree, is a deciduous tree recognized for its elegant, ovate-lobed leaves with serrated edges that turn stunning shades of yellow and red in autumn. It produces small, white, corymb-like flowers in late spring, followed by distinctive oval fruits that transition from green to russet-brown as they ripen. These fruits are traditionally used in beverages and jams. The Sorbus torminalis thrives in mixed woodlands and parklands, offering both ornamental value and ecological benefits as a source of food for wildlife.
