Description
The Wild service tree, also known as Sorbus torminalis, is a stunning deciduous tree species that is prized for its ornamental value and rich cultural history.

With its striking, deeply lobed leaves and distinctive bark, this tree adds a touch of beauty and sophistication to any landscape.

The Wild service tree is fairly rare, but native to Europe and has been cultivated for centuries for its edible fruit and wood. The fruit, which resembles small apples, has a tart, astringent flavour and is often used in the production of jams and liqueurs. The wood of the tree is strong and durable, and is used in a variety of applications, including furniture making and carving.

In addition to its practical uses, the Wild service tree is also highly regarded for its aesthetic value. Its attractive foliage turns a stunning array of colours in autumn, ranging from golden yellow to deep red, making it a popular choice for landscaping projects. The tree also produces clusters of white flowers in the spring, adding a lovely touch of beauty to the landscape.

With its stunning foliage, rich cultural history, and practical benefits, this tree is sure to impress.

How to Grow
We recommend mulching and regular watering during the drier periods in the first year or so of growth.

Why buy a potted trees vs a bareroot? Cotswold Trees supply potted trees as we have found these have the best chance of survival and do allow you to plant trees throughout the year. The cooler, wetter months are always the best time to plant a tree and allow it to establish a new root system whilst it remains fairly dormant. Despite this, potted trees can be planted successfully throughout the spring and summer if they are well looked after. You may find other suppliers offer bareroot and plug plants which are often cheaper options, especially when buying trees in bulk, but these tend to take a little longer to establish.
