Sorbus domestica

Sorbus domestica, with the common name service tree or sorb tree, is a species of Sorbus native to western, central and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and southwest Asia. It may be called true service tree, to distinguish it from wild service tree Sorbus torminalis.

It is a deciduous tree growing to 15–20 m tall with a trunk up to 1 m diameter, though it can also be a shrub 2–3 m tall on exposed sites. The bark is brown, smooth on young trees, becoming fissured and flaky on old trees. The winter buds are green, with a sticky resinous coating.
