It is endemic to the British Isles, growing wild only in areas of Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Ireland. It did not exist before the last Ice Age, probably arising from a hybrid between the Wild Service Tree and another Whitebeam. ==Description== It will form a deciduous tree to about 12 metres height. The leaves are entire, lobed, are dark green above, underside has a dense layer of white hairs. It flowers at the end of May, they are white with 5 petals. The fruits ripen at the end of October.
