Sorbus torminalis is a rare, scattered forest tree species, distributed in Poland mainly in its western part. The species has been protected by law since 1946. Some populations of S. torminalis are additionally protected within 26 nature reserves (Tab. 1, Fig. 2). Some of them have been established specially for protection of this species. There are also about 180 S. torminalis trees admitted as monuments of nature. In spite of all these undertaken actions many Polish populations of the species have been disappeared during the last few decades.
