It grows naturally along the coasts of the Baltic Sea, and sparsely in the south-west archipelago. The leaves are the main difference from the hybrid whitebeam (<em>S<\/em>. <em>hybrida<\/em>); the Swedish whitebeam\u2019s leaf is shiny dark green above, sometimes even olive green, with shallow-lobed edges; on non-flowering shoots the leaves may have a single pair of leaflets near the base. The leaf undersides are grey or yellowish-felted.<\/p>\n<p>Originally Linn\u00e9 grouped the Svenska whitebeam with the hawthorns (<em>Crataegus<\/em>), like the other mountain ashes with entire leaves. The tree can be grown from seed, and the seedlings closely resemble each other. According to current knowledge, the Swedish hornbeam is a cross between three mountain ashes: the rowan (<em>S<\/em>. <em>aucuparia<\/em>), the wild service tree (<em>S<\/em>. <em>torminalis<\/em>) and rock whitebeam (<em>S<\/em>. <em>rupicola<\/em>). The wild service tree was an ancient native of the Baltic area.<\/p>\n<p>The Svenska whitebeam is highly valued as a street tree, being undemanding and tough. In very severe winters some older specimens may be destroyed, as happened in Helsinki in the mid-1980s due to the cumulative effect of consecutive extreme winters.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Lehtipuut ja -pensaat<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Sorbus<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Sorbus intermedia<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7386,"template":"","alueet":[],"kasvilajit":[1095,1211],"class_list":["post-15313","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kasvilajit-deciduous_trees_and_shrubs","kasvilajit-sorbus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15313"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
