 Forestry Commission Scotland - Heritage Trees of Scotland - The Arran Whitebeams
The Arran whitebeam was first recorded in 1897, and is thought to have arisen as a natural hybrid between the rock whitebeam (Sorbus rupicola) and the ubiquitous rowan (Sorbus aucuparia).
The other rare hybrid, the Arran cut-leaved whitebeam, was first noted in 1952.  This appears to have arisen from the Arran whitebeam back-crossing with the rowan.  Both species were more abundant in the past, but have been forced to retreat to their restricted enclaves as the island was progressively improved for agriculture.
Small, windswept and stunted, these uniquely Scottish trees are under constant threat from the strong gales and heavy snow storms common in their montane habitat, because the fragile root systems are easily dislodged from the rocky soil.
