Popis: There are three endemic Sorbus species on the Isle of Arran in Scotland: Sorbus arranensis, S. pseudofennica and S. pseudomeinichii. The latter is the most recently discovered and is represented in the wild by a single individual. Seed propagation and vegetative propagation by chip budding were initiated for all three species at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). This has been successful and there are now conservation collections of these species growing at RBGE.
