Sorbus torminalis
Wild Service Tree
Common Name: Wild Service Tree Latin Name: Sorbus torminalis Soil: Most well drained soilsPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: April to May/WhiteHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height: 11m/6mSpecial features: Dark brown fruits that are usually ripe in SeptemberThe 'Wild Service Tree', as it is commonly known, is actually a British native; it is a rare find in woodland today, but it was cherished by foragers many years ago due to its deliciously sweet fruits. It is said that people would hang the fruits to dry and enjoy them as a sweet treat. Aside from the small fruits, the tree itself has a lot to offer. In spring, alongside the white flowers, glossy green leaves shoot through and these hold their colour until autumn; at this time they fade to russet reds and oranges. On mature specimens, the bark adds winter interest as it peels away in rectangular strips. A great choice for a feature tree.

Plus, they’re an inviting treat for local wildlife. Before you know it, your garden will be full of the sounds of chirping and buzzing. As autumn rolls around, the foliage transitions from feathery greens to rich reddish hues and purple tones, which add warmth to any landscape.The delicate, fern-like leaves hang gracefully on the arching branches and contrast beautifully with the summer flowers and the autumn berries. With an eventual height of 5 metres and a similar spread of 5 metres, the Sorbus vilmorinii invites you to make it a centrepiece of your outdoor haven.
