Plant Description

Sorbus aria, commonly called the whitebeam, is a deciduous tree known for its distinctive silver-backed leaves. The leaves are oval with finely serrated edges and a silvery underside, giving the tree a unique shimmer in the wind. In spring, it produces clusters of small, white flowers that attract pollinators, later developing into small, red-orange berries in autumn. These berries, though mildly astringent, are sometimes used in jellies and have a subtle sweetness when ripe. The whitebeam typically reaches 10–20 meters in height, making it a striking presence in both natural and urban landscapes.
