Sorbus Aria Lutescens- Whitebeam. Whitebeam can be found naturally in most of Europe as well as parts of
North Africa and the cooler parts of Asia. They have also been widely
planted throughout the south of England where along with their close
relatives, The Rowan and Service Tree, they are often grown in towns,
parks and gardens. The relatively small size of Whitebeams makes them a
popular choice to plant where space is limited. Whitebeam are however,
fairly fast growing, deciduous trees, but they will only grow to some 15
metres, or so in 20 years. This compact tree is dome, or Mushroom
shaped, as its branches do not reach skywards like some. The Leaves give
rise to its name of Whitebeam because their underside is almost white.
Rowans, to which the Whitebeam is related, have totally different shaped
Leaves that are small and held in a row on the twigs whereas the leaves
of the Whitebeam are of a normal, oval leaf shape and size.
