I wondered that too, Sticki, they are certainly very similar.

Hmmm...will look into that. I didn't think they got so big.

the height of the tree or the berry size GT?

Tree height. I always thought of sorbus as a smaller 8-10ft. These are 15-20.

Is mountain ash part of that family? They grow up to 20 ft I'm sure?

These were wonderful! Such a standout in this area. I loved all abundance in the flora of the area. Such a difference from the winter where I live. Little insignifant seeds here.
