Bristol University Botanic Garden has a particular interest due to the
presence of several sorbus species in the Avon Gorge. For the millenium,
they propogated and sold a limited number of sorbus species to alumni. I
bought a sorbus bristoliensis and sorbus wilmotiana, both of which only
occur naturally in the Avon Gorge.

Ness Botanic Gardens (Univ Liverpool) also has an interest - presumably
because the guy who wrote the monograph on the genus used to be
director.
