True service tree
True service tree
This true service (Sorbus domestica) grows well in the garden at South View, Churchland Lane. It came originally from a seed from a fruit from a street market in Rome germinated in the 1970s. It now occasionally bears edible fruit (sorbs) of its own with viable seeds.

The tree has fairly recently been found to occur rarely, supposedly as a native species, around the Severn Estuary and in South Wales and one example, first mentioned in 1678, was well known in the Wyre Forest.
