Cultivation and Propagation

Sorbus colchica is a deciduous tree that grows up to 8 m tall. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Propagation is usually done by cuttings or layering. Cuttings should be taken from the current season's growth and planted in a moist, well-drained soil mix. Layering is done by bending a stem to the ground and covering it with soil. The stem should be left in place until it has rooted, then it can be cut from the parent plant and transplanted.
