Majestica

Majestica is an impressive form of Sorbus aria - the Whitebeams - and features the characteristic large silvery-grey leaves.

Clusters of white flowers in late spring are followed by large bright red berries.

Majestica will eventually become a fairly large round-headed tree, almost as wide as it is tall.
