Swedish Whitebeam
Hardiness Zone: 4
Height: 35 feet
Width: 25 feet
Sun: full sun to partial shade
Soil Composition: needs well-drained, moist soil
Maintenance: low
Growth Rate: fast
Description: A naturally occurring hybrid, this beautiful accent tree features interesting semi-compound leaves that turn yellow and orange in fall; showy clusters of white flowers in spring and red berries in fall; resistant to disease.
Ornamental Features: The red fruits are held in abundance in spectacular clusters from early to late fall. It has dark green foliage throughout the season. The smooth, gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Landscape Attributes: Swedish Whitebeam is a deciduous tree with a rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance tree and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting birds and bees to your yard.
Planting & Growing: It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 4 feet from the ground and should not be planted underneath power lines.
It grows at a fast rate and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for
50 years or more. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions and shouldn’t be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates.
Best grown in front/back yards. Low growing canopy! NOT suited for planting in the street right-of-way landscape strip. Plant 10 feet from fire hydrants, ground mounted utility boxes, fences, shrubs, private sidewalks and driveways. Plant at least 20 feet from buildings. Plant at least 30 feet from all other trees. Plant 60 feet from overhead powerlines.
