Extremely rare in cultivation, this very distinct Chinese whitebeam makes a small shrubby tree to about 3m tall, perhaps more. Foliage is fairly narrow , flushes with a bronze tint and has a good white underside; the brown hairy veins contrasting well. Heads of white flower in spring followed by decent sized clusters of distinctive, diminutive, round, red fruit. Bone hardy and easy in a sunny position. Previously Sorbus, this genus has now been split to include multiple new genera and reflect the sometimes stark differences between them.
