Alniaria yuana explained

Alniaria yuana, (syns. Sorbus yuana, Aria yuana) Yu's whitebeam, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Chongqing, and western Hubei, China.[1] [2] Rare in the wild, it is usually found on steep ravine slopes over in elevation.[3]

A shapely tree reaching, with white flowers, red fruit, and yellow autumn foliage, it appears to be resistant to fire blight, and so is a good candidate for further development as an ornamental.[4] It is used as a street tree in Aarhus, Denmark.[5]
