This tree was seen on the banks of the river Rhine near Zurich, Switzerland.
Requested to please provide ID. This is a Sorbus species, possibly subgenus Aria (check to see if the leaves are white-hairy underneath). This genus has many recognised micro species. Viburnum lantana L. References:

This plant seems to have opposite leaves, so Viburnum lantana seems to be more appropriate. |
