I planted a small tree in my garden in the north west of England a few years ago. I can’t wait for it to fruit. Only 1m high at the moment, so I’ll be waiting a few more years.
@@allthefruit Good video, good channel. Good that i found your channel. Do all Germany rare fruit ? It is good that if you state the location on your title or description, because some places you mention we never heard before, hence hard to understand what you just said.. Thanks. where can you find this "dirtbag" ? i have never see one in Germany. Not one with fruit. What season it have edible fruit ? i want to try it too. Heard of service tree, but never see one.. or know one. thx
Great. Wild service tree berries are also very tasty. But they are not just a wild form of the service tree, they are a completely different tree. Also very beautiful and edible but different
Interesting, thanks. I did not know there was a another type of service tree. I wonder if they sell in the UK? If so, i will certainly buy and plant one.
In our country it is known to be "the best and the rarest" fruit for high quality distillates. There are only few distilleries making it and so it is also very expensive.
I have been really interested in this fruit, it is a lot like the wild persimmons (Diospyros virginiana) we have here in North America in the way you have to wait for it to ripen.
I was wondering the same thing. Also, maybe a picked bunch could be bleated in the freezer, to speed the process with less risk of them drying out in storage.
Stupid question. Would this come true from a seed.. or is it a pippin style apple... Second stupid question. Would u ever take Seed, like a few seeds for folks from odd n great true fruit for us to send you an envelope with one inside ready to be mailed back to us? I'd love to have some odd stuff.
In north American we have a sirvice berry or Saskatoon berry. I want to plant the tree in the video in my food Forest but are they invasive to north American ?
I looked for seeds because i couldn’t find young trees. It can be propagated by seeds, i’m sure about this, maybe the germination rate is low, but in nature the propagation is by seeds. The germination can be forced. Excuse my english :)
@@cosmindrignei4425 Hello! Also a fellow Romanian look for some seedlings. They are indeed hard to find. I have tracked a flowering wild tree this spring and I'm planning to harvest some fruits for their seeds. If you however find a source of the above mentioned seedlings, I would be much in your debt if you could share it with me. Otherwise, I'll contact you in 5-6 months to give you some seeds. I do really hope you find a seedling source.
According to my research in respect of Sorbus genera, fruit produced by Rowan, whitebeam and wild service tree consists large amounts of sorbitol which should be removed by cooking. Only these whitty pears are edible without any processing. Just wait them to overripe. It s very popular in France, Italy and Balkans.
I found one of these not far from my house. I used to think it was rowan tree. Can't wait to try the fruit now
Wait till they are soft
@@allthefruit will do

Yes but it is worth waiting for. Does not like exess rain, though
Thanks that's another interesting fruit I want to try.
You never have? It is not rare
@@allthefruit never even seen it

@@andrewyek sometimes i state the location in the title, sometimes it gets too long. Usually i say the place in the video
@@andrewyek dirtbags or Speierlinge are quite common in the Mediterranean and submediterranean as well as milder temperate parts of Europe
Great video. I am currently planting lot's of wild service tree's ! Always wondered what the fruit tastes like.

Yes, the cider is also considered very high quality. Often mixed with apple cider
I have been really interested in this fruit, it is a lot like the wild persimmons (Diospyros virginiana) we have here in North America in the way you have to wait for it to ripen.
I was just wondering if you had experience with this tree. And here you are! Does frost help with the process of these ripening?
They will get soft faster with frost but since they ripen quite early this does not happen very often in nature
I was wondering the same thing. Also, maybe a picked bunch could be bleated in the freezer, to speed the process with less risk of them drying out in storage.

I could not figure out if its true to seed.
Also unfortunately i have no seeds

Saskatoons are great. Sorbus domestica does not seem to be invasive in America
Hello! I want to plant this tree, i can’t find seeds in my country.
Which country?
Romania
It grows throughout Romania and you should be able to buy young trees in garden centers. It is usually not propagated by seed

Cool fruit
We have mountain ash or Rowan tree in our yard the birds like them
Our freze thaw is soposed to make them edible

@@MarjanVukovic interesting thanks
what were those small leaved shrubs growing under it?
Laurel cherry and roses
interesting cultivar. the fruit from my tree is more reddish in colour
Yes, they are reddish or yellowish, apple or pear shaped
always leave GPS location of the tree please
This is a lot of work
No wonder it's a rare tree, as its been used too much for timber.
Yes, what a waste
If it is tasty, and good for human consumption, then why do you keep spitting it out?!?
Lots of skins and seeds. Some like them, some dont
