Tree, with broadly pyramidal or oval head, 25-50 ft. high: lvs. elliptic to oblong-oval, usually cuneate at the base, acute or obtuse at the apex, sharply and doubly serrate, of firm texture, bright or dark green and glabrous above, white-tomentose beneath, 2-5 in. long; petioles 1/3 – 3/4 in. long: fls. 1/2 – 3/4 in. across, in tomentose, 2-3-in.-broad corymbs: fr. sub-globose, orange-red, about 1/2 in. high. May. Cent. and S. Eu. to Himalayas and Siberia. GM. 44:291.

Lvs. elliptic-oblong to oblong, rounded or acute at the apex, 2-5 in. long: fr. oval, 1/2 – 3/4 in. high. There are some garden forms, as vars. aurea, chrysophylla, and lutescens, Hort., with more or less yellow foliage.

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 hermaphrodite cream-white flowers appear in May, are insect pollinated, and go on to produce scarlet berries, which are often eaten by birds.[1]
