I think before we conclude we have to exclude the possibility of Sorbus lanata. When Balkar ji first uploaded this plant he wrote fruit size as 3-3.5 cm on my asking. S. cuspidata has fruit not larger than 2 cm, where as in S. lanata it can be up to 4 cm. More over mature fruit in SS. cuspidata is dark red, Could not find information about S. lanata
