Title: Unknown Sorbus
Post by: PaulM on October 10, 2016, 06:55:59 PM

Hello ! I have been growing this Sorbus species which I have lost the label to and I wonder if it is possible to venture an identification by mere photos ( of fruits and some tattered leaves ). The fruits are bigger than those of Sorbus koehniana which I also grow. I suppose there are dozens of white fruited rowans.

Thank you!

Perhaps S. cashmiriana?

Looks just alike. I think you are spot on Maggie. Thanks!

Patience! I sowed various sorbus seeds 8 or 9 years ago and they have just begun to flower and set seed this year.
