Rowan Tree # 3

Rowan Trees are a beloved garden ornament. These deciduous trees produce white blooms and red berries in June and autumn, acting as excellent natural wind screens.

Rowans thrive in both full and partial shade, but thrive best in fertile, well-drained soil with high organic content and an ideal moisture balance. To encourage root growth during the first two years, make sure to water them regularly and stake them to prevent root rot.

Plant your seeds in a potting mix composed of equal parts horticultural sand and 50% horticultural soil plus 50% peat-free compost or leafmould. At the bottom of the pot, add one inch of gravel for drainage purposes as well as to prevent root rot growth.

The leaves are bipinnate (like a feather), composed of 5 to 8 pairs of leaflets plus one 'terminal' leaflet at the end. These leaves can grow up to 20 cm long and feature toothed edges.

Hermaphrodite flowers contain both male and female reproductive parts. Each bloom consists of five creamy-white petals that grow in dense clusters.

Berries are an abundant source of essential nutrients and minerals for birds, such as zinc, magnesium and iron; they may even be the sole food available during wintertime. Berries also make nutritious and delicious alternatives to fruit juices for many people.
