The Wild Service Tree (Sorbus torminalis) is a native British deciduous tree that adds elegance and ecological value to any landscape. With its distinctive features and adaptability, it’s an excellent choice for gardens, parks, and woodland areas. Note: The Wild service tree has - confusingly - changed its botanical name. It used to be a Sorbus, like Whitebeam or Rowan, but apparently now it isn't. It has its very own genus, and instead of being Sorbus torminalis is now Torminalis glaberrima.
