BASTARD SERVICE

 This the Bastard Service Tree (that's its name - really), growing in Chapel Street, Thornbury has one of the most spectacular displays of berries.

  

  Unfortunately they do not last long.  

You can also identify it by the leaves, which are lobed like the Swedish Whitebeam or even a bit like an oak, BUT . . . the first two or more lobes are separate from the rest of the leaf.

  

The back of the leaf is paler, showing that it's a member of the whitebeam group of the Sorbus genus, Sorbus thuringiaca, and so also related to rowan trees.
