Rowan Tree

The rowan tree, scientifically known as Sorbus aucuparia, is a hardy deciduous tree renowned for its vibrant clusters of orange-red berries and delicate pinnate leaves. Native to cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, it holds a prominent place in European folklore, often planted near homes for protection against evil spirits. The tree offers significant ecological value, providing a reliable food source for numerous species of birds and pollinators throughout the autumn and winter months. Furthermore, its adaptability to poor soils and urban environments makes it a popular choice for ornamental landscaping, gardens, and street planting.
