Yesterday
we saw a sorbus embley in another garden centre and it had relatively
wide
floppy soft leaves - full open. We are wondering if the one we bought
was
the incorrect species or maybe it is not thriving.

Anyone have this tree and can tell me what the leaves look like?

"Sacha" wrote It's Sorbus commixta Embley. Perhaps there's a difference
between the
leaves of the species and those of the variety. Equally, plants can be
mislabelled by accident so the best thing to do is take a leaf from your
back to where you bought it from and ask them.

Sacha,
unfortunately bought mail order so cannot take a leaf back. From your first
line I believe you are saying that Sorbus Embley does indeed have hard
narrow folded leaves just as ours does?
cheers, Davy
