SERVICE TREE (Cormus/Sorbus domestica) |
A rare European fruit tree with a rich history and 500-year lifespan. Produces small, pear-like fruit which are delicious when soft like a medlar, with flavors of spice, chocolate, and tropical fruit. Service tree fruit can be used for making cider, jam, syrup, or dried for use as a digestive medicine. Unripe fruit was traditionally used in winemaking before sulfites and other modern additives. Beautiful pinnate foliage with brilliant fall color. Widely adapted. Zone 5-10. |
