Sorbus aucuparia, commonly known as Rowan, Mountain Ash, or European Rowan, is a deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of Asia. It typically grows to heights of 8-15 meters with a broad, ounded crown. The leaves are pinnate, with 7-11 leaflets that are dark green above and paler beneath, turning yellow to orange-red in the fall. In spring, clusters of white flowers appear,
followed by clusters of red or orange berries in the fall, which are attractive to birds. Rowan is often planted for its ornamental value, wildlife habitat, and as a windbreak or street tree. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade.

Planting
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Loosen the soil around the planting area and carefully remove the tree from its container or burlap wrap, ensuring not to disturb the roots excessively. Position the tree in the center of the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with soil and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Care
Regular watering during the establishment period is essential. Pruning may be necessary to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches.
