Whitebeam

This medium-sized broadleaf tree is compact with a domed shaped canopy.

Producing clusters of white flowers in spring, that are then are followed by red berries in early autumn.

Growing Conditions:
Prefers alkaline soils but grows in a wide range of soils. Tolerates coastal exposure.

Value To Wildlife:
Both flowers and fruit provide a great food for a wide variety of animals, birds, insects and bees.

Important Note:
This is a deciduous tree and so will shed its leaves in autumn, in order to protect itself from the cold winter weather. Come spring, it’ll burst back into bud and begin to flourish once more.
