	Service Tree - LoveToKnow 1911
		'SERVICE TREE,' Pyrus domestics, a native of the Mediterranean region, not infrequently planted in southern Europe for its fruit.
		Though not much cultivated its fruit is esteemed by some persons, and therefore two or three trees may very well be provided with a place in the orchard, or in a sheltered corner of the lawn.
		The service is nearly allied to the mountain ash, Pyrus Aucuparia, which it resembles in having regularly primate leaves.

	Wild Service Tree
		It is often found as a hedgerow tree in south eastern England, most notably in Kent, and is a feature of the scrub woodlands that occur on the landslips along the northern edge of the Isle of Wight.
		It is a common tree in the Dordogne of central France where it is found with Oaks, Quercus robur and Quercus pubescens, Juniper, Juniper communis, and Box, Buxus sempervirens, in woodland developing on the extensive abandoned limestone sheep pastures.
		The wild service is rare in Wiltshire which is, I would have thought, another reason to protect any mature specimens especially as it was probably once reasonably widespread on heavier soils.

		The "wild hogs" in Tennessee may be referred to as strictly "feral" but there is an on-going debate over whether or not they are true wild Eurasian wild boar or a combination of domestic and wild hogs.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Detecting local establishment strategies of wild cherry (Prunus aviumL.)
		Typical of pioneer tree species such as wild cherry is that they colonize early forest successsional stages as a result of forest disturbances (larger gaps in the forest canopy).
		Particularly within clumps of wild cherry occurrences, a genotype that consists of dozens of ramets is more likely to have some ramets escape herbivory than a genotype that consists of a single stem [16].
		All wild cherry trees were sampled within these two stands (figure 2) in order to avoid effects of differences in sample size on the accuracy in allele frequency estimates and thus the method of clonal identification in each plot.
