Encyclopedic overview
Aria edulis, the whitebeam or common whitebeam, is a species of deciduous tree in the family Rosaceae.
The tree often forms new shoots around the trunk. Typically compact and domed, the plant has a few upswept branches and the leaves have an almost-white underside. The hermaphrodite cream-white flowers appear in May, are insect pollinated, and go on to produce scarlet berries, which are often eaten by birds.
