Hedlundia mougeotii, commonly known as Mougeot’s Whitebeam, is a deciduous tree or large shrub native to the mountainous regions of Central Europe, particularly in limestone areas. It typically grows to a height of 12-25 feet (4-8 meters) and a width of 9-13 feet (2.7-4 meters). The plant has a compact, rounded form with simple, broad leaves that are green on top and slightly downy underneath. The white flowers bloom in late spring and are followed by orange-red berries in the fall, which are attractive to birds.

Mougeot’s Whitebeam is valued for its ornamental features, including its springtime floral display and its autumn berries. It is used in garden and landscape settings for its moderate size and ability to provide seasonal interest. This species is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they have medium drainage, and it can tolerate both full sun and part shade. While it is not commonly found in cultivation, it can serve as an attractive specimen or part of a mixed border. Care should be taken to avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root problems.CC BY-SA 4.0
