Wikipedia
rowan tree
The rowans ( ROW-ənz or ROH-ənz) or mountain-ashes are shrubs or trees in the genus Sorbus of the rose family, Rosaceae. They are native throughout the cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the highest species diversity in the Himalaya, southern Tibet and parts of western China, where numerous apomictic microspecies occur. The name rowan was originally applied to the species Sorbus aucuparia and is also used for other species in Sorbus subgenus Sorbus.Formerly, when a wider variety of fruits were commonly eaten in Europe and North America, Sorbus was a domestically used fruit throughout these regions. It is still used in some countries, but S. domestica, for example, has largely vanished from Britain, where it was traditionally appreciated. Natural hybrids, often including S. aucuparia and the whitebeam, Sorbus aria, give rise to many endemic variants in the UK.

rowan tree
A rowan tree, also known as a mountain ash, is a type of decidary tree in the Rosaceae family, native to cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is known for its clusters of white flowers, bright orange or red berries, and pinnate leaves. The berries of the rowan tree are often used in jellies, jams, and alcoholic beverages. In folklore, these trees are considered to have protective properties against witchcraft and evil spirits.
