In honor of England winning the UEFA Women’s Euro Final, ArborNote’s Tree of the Week is Bristol Whitebeam (Karpatiosorbus bristoliensis). It is endemic (meaning it only is found in a certain area) to Great Britain, growing wild only in the Avon Gorge and in the Leigh Woods area of Bristol. There are around 300 individuals as of 2016, and the population is thought to be increasing.They can grow quite large, the largest specimens are up to 65 feet tall. They flower in late May with beautiful, dense white blooms. The flowers are followed by russet-orange fruits. The fruits are edible, but only if they are picked at the right time. They are a good source of vitamin C, and when its fruits are dried, a bit like raisins and eaten as a snack. Or it is combined with other fruits and made into a jam.These trees are ancient apomictic hybrids, meaning that they produce seeds without sex (i.e. clones).
