                            Sorbus monbeigii is a deciduous shrub that can be propagated by seed or cuttings. It prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. It can tolerate partial shade and is drought tolerant. It can be propagated by taking softwood cuttings in the spring or semi-hardwood cuttings in the summer. Seeds can be sown in the spring or fall in a cold frame or in pots outdoors. The seedlings should be transplanted to their permanent location in the spring.
