never heard of this tree. Tell me, is it a ring porous, diffuse or

What properties are you interested in with this tree?
Other than that.

The original question was to plant it in a container or would it
survive in the water in a bucket, its current planter.

Sorbus aucuparia

Do a search to find out what it is. It's a rather popular tree.


If you are that familiar with this tree then please do tell me if it is
ring, diffuse or conifer. If you do not know than just say so.

Oh for [snip] sake, it's a dicot, seed producing in the family rosacea.
I don't give a damn about your "biology" jargon. Useless here.

I would say that you have not dissected this tree, do not know what type
of vessel or tracheids arrangement it has dictating its water
requirements. Just wanted to make sure. Just because you do not
understand the anatomy of the specific tree does not mean that
understanding the anatomy is not required to understand treatments. The
opposite. The more you know about the anatomy of a species the more you
will understand its treatments. The reason I asked was because the way
people were answering I thought they understood the tree? My mistake.
If you do not care about the biology of a plant why would you think you
should comment on the biology of the tree?

Since you know squat about biology, trees, forests, nature, etc, other than
pimping Shigo's work, why should anyone consider you anything other than a
yard man trying to be something he will never manage to be?

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding
us that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books
that will give them understanding.
