Sorbus latifolia 'Henk Vink' - Clear Stem 170cm - Girth 6-8cm - Height 340-350cm - 45lt

Sorbus latifolia 'Henk Vink' is a highly ornamental and resilient tree, making it a great addition to medium or large gardens. This cultivar, a broad-leaved whitebeam, is known for its elegant, upright form and dense, rounded crown, which offers strong architectural structure throughout the year. It typically grows to around 8–12 metres in height, making it suitable as a focal point or boundary tree in a landscape setting.

One of its standout features is its broad, leathery, dark green leaves with a silvery underside, giving the tree a shimmering appearance when caught by the wind. In spring, it produces clusters of creamy-white flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. These are followed in autumn by orange-red berries that persist into winter and are a valuable food source for birds.

The foliage turns soft shades of yellow and bronze in autumn, adding seasonal colour to the garden. 'Henk Vink' is tolerant of urban conditions, pollution, and various soil types, including dry or clay soils. With minimal maintenance needs, strong disease resistance, and excellent wildlife value, this cultivar is perfect for gardeners seeking both beauty and resilience in their planting scheme.
