Note: Sorbus aucuparia is recognized as a widely distributed species in Europe, widely planted and with potential for forest restoration; this species (2n=34) hybridizes with S. aria and S, rupicola (2n=68), and their hybrids are sometimes planted; complex hybridization and backcrosses at different ploidy level has also generated triploids apomictically propagated
