Thanks...do you know the name of the variety that has red berries...I think Joseph sorbus has yellow berries but I would like red.

Rowans are supposed to protect you against witchcraft - you never know when this might come in handy...

mine is grown from a berry that I collected in the wild. they are a deep orange rather than a true red. So, sorry I cant give it a varietal name.
I knew that about witchcraft Stera it was one of the folklore stories I was told as a child. :o)

Lol Sbg. We don't believe the witchcraft stories, so why do I apologise to my elder when I have to cut a branch off....

Be careful it's not planted close to a pathway. We have one alongside a driveway which is then covered in red berries and 'walked' into the house and stains the carpet. I now cut off the berries as they appear in the late summer.

Mine which is 20yrs old is about 15ft tall. they don't get much bigger than that. they respond to pollarding, the local council turned a street of them into lollipops and int he autumn with the berries and red leaves looked stunning.
I have left mine au natural. I personally think it is one of the nicest small native trees there is. Its going to be a good year for blossom.
