Another sorbus
This is another sorbus different to the last one. Again it is a street tree. The leaves are odd. Overall they give the impression of being conical but they start with three pairs of compound leaflets followed by a conical entire section of leaf which has indentations. THe berries are larger and fewer than a rowan and more in the manner of a whitebeam. It gives the impression of some kind of rowan Whitebeam cross but who knows. Does anyone know what tree this is?

Very much from memory - I'll leave others to fill in details, or you to Google. Sorbus is roughly divided into Whitebeams, Rowans, and Service Tree. There is the true Wild Service Tree, which is uncommon, and there is a 'false' service tree, which I think is a hybrid, which IIRC has the leaves you describe. -- Kay |

It is actually called a ******* Service Treee. I googled some more after my original posting and found a picture. It is actually a hybrid beetween the common whitebeam and the Rowan.

I'd assume the conical appearance is a result of stress, and not the normal state. THe berries are larger and fewer than a rowan and more in the manner of a whitebeam.

There's all sorts of hybrid Sorbus, but I don't know of any others with this form of leaf. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

I would like a young Rowan with red berries but I cannot find one locally or rather the ones I have found seem to be rather poor specimens, maybe I will have to buy online. kate gloucestershire |

Neil Jones http://www.butterflyguy.com/ Sorbus forms a series of 'microspecies' in the UK, with limited to very limited natural distributions, although several have been propogated and made available commercially. 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. -- Larry Stoter |
