Care Guide
Excellent disease resistance, average pest resistance
Not prone to many diseases in cold regions but prone to fire blight in warm areas. Prune away affected branches if this happens. Lichen will sometimes grow on the bark, and in rural areas deer may eat the berries.MORE
Water during dry spells
Watering is only needed in long droughts. You can also water thoroughly during spring to ensure rapid growth during summer months.
Full sun to partial shade
Sorbus trees aren't too picky about their position - they will grow in open, sunny sites (6h+) or partial shade(3-6h).
Happy in most soils
Prefers well drained, acidic soils but will be fine in any type.
Prune annually
Never prune during the growing season as sap will attract bugs and diseases, although any time of year is acceptable for dead wood removal. If diseased, then prune away affected branches.
