@praxeology can you eat the whitebeam? I saw some the other day but the internet said they were ornamental.

@az "Sorbus Aria" is called Mehlbeere (literally meal-berry) in German because it was often dried and milled, then added to flour. This is according to a favorite new book "Unsere essbaren Bäume und Sträucher"¹.
I only had a little taste out of curiosity and I can't report any side effects yet. But I know there are a bunch of varieties called Whitebeam so some of them might be inedible.
