About Bare Root Wild Service Tree

Sorbus torminalis bears maple-like, deep green leaves for the most part of the year, before they turn a stunning copper colour in the autumn, just before they fall. The flowers will form in pretty clusters at the end of Spring, and soon turn into oval-shaped, green-brown fruits- that are sprinkled with pale spots by the end of Autumn.̴Ì?

Though Wild Service Tree looks like Maple (Acer Campestre), Sorbus torminalis' leaves are not as uniquely lobed.̴Ì?

Make sure you plant your Sorbus torminalis bare root plant as soon as possible after being delivered, as the roots are tender and cannot be left to dry out.

Pruning & Care

As soon as you receive your bare root plant, place it straight into a bucket of water for at least 2 hours. The roots must be wet when planted.̴Ì?

Prune your Sorbus torminalis hedging near the end of Winter or beginning of Spring. This is so that pruning wounds do not produce sap. Besides this, all you need to do is remove diseased, dead, crossing, damaged, or congested shoots- those growing out of shape can also be pruned out. You will not need to carry out any routine pruning.̴Ì?

We recommend adding some mulch and feed, however, after pruning. This will maintain its overall health.
