Aria edulis

Aria edulis, commonly known as the whitebeam or common whitebeam, is a species of deciduous tree. It often forms new shoots around the trunk and has a compact, domed shape with a few upswept branches. The leaves have an almost-white underside. The hermaphrodite cream-white flowers appear in May and are insect pollinated, producing scarlet berries that are often eaten by birds.
