Sorbus domestica
Service tree
Sorbus domestica is the fruiting service tree, a long-lived deciduous tree with pinnate leaves and a rounded crown. Its small apple- or pear-shaped fruit becomes edible once softened, and the timber is exceptionally hard, which kept the species in old field plantings.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
