has anyone had any experience with Trebizond Date (Elaeangus Angustifolia) or Service Tree (Sorbus Domestica)
i have a fairly extensive edible landscape (at least the deer rabbits and when they get loose, goats and llamas think it is). my first fruiting year was dampered in August when one of the goats took her kids on a foray. anyway, i am more than intrigued by these two, but wondered if anyone had any experience with the fruits of the labours.

| REgarding the SErvice Tree (sorbus) the fruit must be bletted before being eaten. Bletted means that the fruit is allowed to soften to a mushy consistancy before becoming tasty or edible. The fruit are also rather small, from what I've read similar in size to Mt Ash fruit (those bright orange berries). I have never tried either of the fruit you asked about, though I did just recieve my catalog and saw what you are inquiring about. ~Chills |

| email One Green World. I've emailed them before and they seem quite knowledgeable of what they're selling. Those two do seem intriguing, indeed. |

| I asked onegreenworld about the size of the fruit of sorbus domestica "Approximately 1" to 2" in length and the Pear Form is longer than the Apple Form" |
