The service tree - Sorbus domestica One of the wild fruit trees prized by our ancestors, it produces edible corms. They can be eaten raw or in jams. After fermentation, they produce a sparkling drink called cormée. The Germans make a very popular brandy from it. But it has many other advantages. It is a slow-growing tree that produces very dense wood. In our orchard, it will create a higher layer than the fruit trees. Planted at a very low density, its foliage will provide temporary shade to the fruit trees in the event of very high temperatures. In addition, it will promote biodiversity and add roughness to the landscape, which will allow bats to cover the entire plot. And you, did you already know about the service tree?
