'''''Sorbus aria''''' ([[syn.]] ''Aria nivea''), the '''[[Whitebeam]]''' or '''Common Whitebeam''' is a deciduous tree, compact and domed, with few upswept branches; it generally favours dry limestone and chalk soils. The [[plant sexuality|hermaphrodite]] cream-white flowers appear in May, are insect pollinated, and go on to produce scarlet berries, which are often eaten by birds.<ref> The [[Reader's Digest]] Field Guide to the Trees and Shrubs of Britain ''p.86''.</ref> {{Inc| Sorbus aria, Crantz (Pyrus Aria, Ehrh.
