Sorbus encompasses both deciduous trees and shrubs characterized by either simple or pinnate foliage. These plants produce clusters of small flowers that can be white or pink, which are succeeded by berries that may be white, yellow, pink, red, or brown. Certain species also exhibit notable autumn foliage.
