Title: Sorbus pogonopetala
Post by: Excelsior on June 04, 2014, 12:52:10 PM

I've got 2 year old seedlings of Sorbus pogonopetala that I want to swap with alpine or ephemeral plants or seeds...

I could not find much information on Sorbus pogonopetala.  Something like a Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) originating from China?

I think that this plant is also known as Sorbus koehneana - Chinese and with white berries.

In that case I case assure anyone it is a beautiful plant. Small tree with good deep red to brown autumn foliage and the bunches of fruit start a soft jade green, whitening as they mature. I was very careful to make sure I had fruit with me when I moved to my new address.

Or perhaps a synonym for Sorbus prattii? :http://plants.jstor.org/specimen/k000758149 (http://plants.jstor.org/specimen/k000758149)
