Sorbus intermedia 1,7-1,9m

Exceptionally striking, 10–12 m tall deciduous tree or shrub that decorates the garden with its flowers and autumn fruits. Its glossy, dark green leaves are lobed, with serrated edges toward the tips. It blooms in April and May with white flowers, while its small, apple-like fruits ripen in September and remain on the branches until midwinter. It tolerates low temperatures and drought very well. It prefers sun, warmth, and well-structured soil. Its water requirements are moderate. It can be planted as a solitary specimen, in parks, larger gardens, or along avenues. The fruits provide food for birds.
