The Rowan or Mountain Ash (Sorbus Aucuparia) is a tree growing to between 45 - 60 feet in good conditions. It has pinnate leaves 6 - 9 inches long and gives good Autumn colour. It also carries a heavy crop of red berries in the Autumn.
In Austria, it's berries are used to make schnapps! In England, the berries are gathered to be used for a wide variety of treats, such as jellies, jams, and preserves. It is also used as a substitute for coffee beans, distilled to produce wine, and as a flavoring for ales, liqueurs, and cordials.
It has also produced quite a bit of controversial folklore. The story I like (which of course is untrue) comes to us from Finland: If the rowan flowered twice in a given year, there would be many potatoes and many weddings that autumn!
