Sometimes called the Wizard's Tree, the Rowan is known for protecting against evil.
For centuries, people have planted Rowans near houses and churchyards to ward off witchcraft. It is thought to be at its most protective when full of red berries, as they are this time of year.
Also known as Mountain Ash, it is a favourite tree with wildlife.
I love its leaves and berries, but I know a lot of homeowners don't like how messy they can be when the shed both.
ReplyDeleteI love rowan trees. My parents have one, it gets gorgeous in autumn.
