About the Picture
Common Whitebeam tree, after quite a long research I’m quite confident that’s the tree I photographed and its red berries surrounded by yellow, autumnal leaves.
It’s often just called “Whitebeam”, in Poland, where I photographed it it’s called “Jarząb mączny”, can you read it?
Scientific names, those are hard ones, seems like they tend to change from time to time but it should be Aria Edulis, also Sorbus Aria is found in some places.
By sharing my images with you here, I’m happy I can actually not just photograph the world around, but also learn a lot before publishing. It can be sometimes really painful, as some trees and its berries are so similar, only difference is the shape of the leaf and that’s often not so simple to distinguish.
The differences are really tiny, and its often impossible to go back to the place I took a picture to examine those small different aspects of the tree.
Photographing autumn is one of my favorite things, I love the seasons and seeing all the fallen colorful leaves is a joy to the eye. Or those moments when you see a flying leaf, priceless.
As you know, I’m not the plant/tree expert, however below I share some unique information I found about the Common Whitebeam tree, its red berries, but be cautious I might not be right about some things there, so if I say they berries it gives are edible, don’t trust me on that, but consult the expert before you feed yourself with the berries, ok?
Interesting facts about Common Whitebeam tree:
- its native to Europe,
- bright red berries it produces in autumn provide a food source for birds and wildlife,
- the berries were used in folk remedies, sometimes being made into jellies, even though they are not widely consumed these days, the trees and the berries are important elements of autumn aesthetics in many parts of Europe, making streets and parks look beautiful and so it happens in Poland,
- it is commonly planted in urban landscapes due to its resilience and ability to adapt to varying conditions, making it a frequent sight in parks and along streets.
