Checker tree

Sorbus torminalis, with common names wild service tree, chequers, and checker tree, is a species of tree in the mountain ash or rowan genus (Sorbus) of the rose family (Rosaceae), that is native to Europe, parts of northern Africa and western Asia. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 15–25 meters (49–82 feet) tall, with a trunk up to 1.3 m in diameter. The bark is smooth and grayish, but flaky, peeling away in squarish plates to reveal darker brown layers. The leaves are 6–14 centimeters long and broad with a 2.5–5 cm petiole, dark green on both sides.

About Peyrat-de-Bellac Forest

Located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine in central France, the Peyrat-de-Bellac forest stands out for its rich biodiversity. This land, which we acquired in May 2023, is home to a unique ecosystem of preserved meadows and ancient hedgerows. These wet meadows are managed sustainably, encouraging their specific flora. As crucial structural elements, the hedgerows are carefully maintained to support the local fauna. The aim is to afforest only a part of the property, thus preserving an open environment. Today, the forest is dominated by sessile oaks. The Peyrat-de-Bellac forest has another unique feature: it is home to the plant 'Galium debile', slender marsh-bedstraw, an endangered species in the Limousin region. This rare plant thrives on the banks of streams on unwooded plots of land.
