Hi Ken, I believe it was the Washington Park arboretum. The Sorbus trees (they have a good collection) are not far from the main entrance. Hope you find them. Hecctor

Mr. Black,

could you look at this link and see if one of them is the gardens you speak of? Anybody else know which garden is fruit oriented in Seattle?

There are some large specimens at the Seattle Botanical Gardens.? The
fruit is quite beautiful.? Like a head of elderberries, maybe 10-15
fruits size of a cherry, some shaped like little pears with blush on
the cheek, some like little apples.? They're not bad tasting, but not
as good as a pear.? Interesting strong flavor, pear-like texture.? Tree
must be 40 ft.? But we've had trouble growing them in the heat of
middle TN.? Fungus disease and apple borers down on the trunk.?? Hector
Black zone 6 middle tn.
