Cultivation and usesedit
Sorbus commixta is grown as an ornamental tree, hardy in zones 5-9. It grows best in moist, well-drained soil, in full sun. A number of cultivars have been selected, the most popular being 'Embley' (with fastigiate branching) and 'Serotina' (flowering later in early summer).[3] 'Embley' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[6][7]
