Description How to germinate

Sorbus aria (Whitebeam) is a small-medium sized British native, which makes a fine ornamental garden, park or street tree. It is generally a very undemanding tree which tolerates wind, heat, drought and urban situations very well. It grows best on lime rich soils, and will thrive on chalk.
The leaves are dark green on the upper surface, with a silver-white underside. White flowers are produced in May, followed by orange-red persistent fruits in September. The Autumn colour is yellow-brown. (info source: deepdale-trees.co.uk)
