12L Whitebeam Tree 'Lutescens' 1.5m
Sorbus aria 'Lutescens'
Dispatched from our expert growing partner and delivered within 7 days.
A whitebeam tree with soft, silvery spring growth
The Sorbus aria ‘Lutescens’ is chosen for the way it changes the tone of a garden, particularly in spring. Its young leaves emerge with a pale, silvery-white appearance, catching the light and standing out against deeper greens.
As the season settles, the foliage softens to a more familiar green, allowing the tree to sit comfortably within the landscape while still offering structure and presence.
Who this tree is for
This suits gardens where there is space for a tree that feels natural but slightly different. It works well as a feature in lawns or open planting, and is a good choice for those looking to introduce lighter tones and contrast.
It is often chosen by those who enjoy subtle seasonal change rather than bold colour.
Subtle variation through the seasons
In spring, the tree is at its most distinctive, with soft, pale leaves that give a silvery effect across the canopy. As these mature, they deepen to green through summer.
In autumn, the foliage shifts to warmer tones before falling, leaving a simple, upright structure through winter.
