P. thianschanica |Eastern Asia |White |This is a comparatively new
| | |introduction, but a
| | |valuable tree. It has
| | |reddish-coloured shining
| | |wood and pinnate glossy
| | |leaves, with pointed and
| | |serrated leaflets. The
| | |fruits are small and
| | |scarlet. The above can, and
| | |should, be propagated from
| | |seeds, which germinate
| | |readily, and the seedlings
| | |soon form strong plants.
| | |The varieties of the
| | |Mountain Ash should be
| | |worked on that species,
| | |and, if absolutely
| | |necessary, most of the
| | |other species can be
| | |increased in the same
| | |manner and on the same
| | |stock. We have seen P.
| | |lanuginosa worked on a
| | |Hawthorn stock, on which it
| | |succeeded very well, but
| | |should not recommend the
| | |Hawthorn as a stock for any
| | |of the Pyruses.
