Sorbus decora

Sorbus decora, commonly known as the showy mountain-ash or whitebeam, is a deciduous tree native to northeastern North America and Greenland. This plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils ranging from light (sandy) to heavy (clay), with a pH between 4 and 7. It can grow up to 10 meters tall and prefers full sun to partial shade. Known for its ornamental value, Sorbus decora features clusters of white flowers followed by bright red berries that are edible but not commonly used in culinary applications. Its distinctive feature is the display of numerous small white flowers in spring, which give way to attractive autumn foliage color before leaf drop.
