Sorbus vilmorinii (Rowan)

 

I must have planted the Sorbus vilmorinii well over twenty years ago. It is supposed to flower in the Spring, but here we are at the very end of October and the blossom has already appeared. Maybe something to do with the weather turning cooler and then warming again. I will keep an eye open to see if the flowers die in the winter.

I did notice last week that a few of the branches were in a poor state. There seems to be a large cluster of trunks at the base and a major prune was in order. The photo below is one of the main branches I removed. Hopefully it will be OK.
