Description

The Sorb tree - Sorbus Domestica originates from southern
Europe, where it is present wild too.
It’s a very long-lived plant, that can live more than three
hundred years and be taller than 8 m. The wood is very
dense and used for carving and turning and for tool handles.
Sorb tree fruits contain sorbitol, a sugar employed in coronary
dilatation medicaments for the treatment of heart therapy.
According to the variety, fruits are harvested from mid
September till December. Raw fruits also contain tannin,
and therefore to be eaten, they have to be left to blet for at
least fifteen days after the harvesting time.
Usually, in the Neapolitan territory, sorb fruits are twisted
into a bunch by means of willow twigs and hung up in an
airy place. As soon as the fruits darken, they will be picked
up from the bunch to be eaten.
