Bare root Whitebeam Tree Sorbus aria Lutescens
The whitebeam tree (sorbus aria 'Lutescens') is a native, British tree, found commonly in southern England. Its leaves are a spectacular colour in spring when they are a silver-white colour, the undersides being hairy. Attractive red berries in small clusters are appealing in autumn. Whitebeam (sorbus aria) is in the same genus as mountain ash. An idea would be to include this with a selection of various mountain ash varieties and create a real splash of colour in autumn with their varied berry colours. There is much more information to be had on Whitebeam if you click the link above.
Message card included at no additional cost if required.
Should you require more than one tree then you may want to look at our WHOLESALE MOUNTAIN ASH section.

Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Tree?
9 out of 10 times the answer will be no, especially if under 200cm tall. However our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.

It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots.
Have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other issues.
