The Wild Service Tree (Sorbus torminalis) is a small rather unassuming tree which goes unnoticed amidst the oaks and hornbeams that surround it. Often it is so much in the shade of other deciduous trees it does not even make fruits. But it can live without producing brown berries: from the roots new shoots find their way up.
Only at this time of the year you notice it is not a very rare species, when it shows its splendid golden-brown autumn colour.
