I'll be having a Rowan tree, then!

[Sinta]

Hi Seahorse, that's really generous! Thanks so much for the offer and I'm sure I'll find a home for the little sapling in my garden I hope its not too much trouble for you.

[Seahorse]

No trouble PM me your address and I'll sort one out.

Hi Seahorse thank you so much for your very kind offer, I have two self set Rowans with the darker berries- It's the one with the pale almost apricot berries I am trying to get hold of...
Rowans are beautiful little trees and keep the witches away! maybe thats why I find it hard to cross the garden with out stumbling! tee hee hee

Headfry (and Sinta, if you're not definitely wanting to grow from seed) I also have some littler saplings (I think, anyway, they look the same!). No idea if it's a good time of year to do it but I'd happily dig one up and post it off to you. I wouldn't want anything for it and I doubt the postage would be much.

Let me know if you're interested

Now is the right time to dig the saplings up. The local bonsai club have permission to go on a 'forage' in some private woodland locally and take the saplings growing too close to the parent tree (which wouldn't survive anyway) and they always do this the first weekend in February.

Ah, with you now Headfry! Obviously need more caffeine

Thanks for that Bluemoon!

I have never heard of a Rowan tree (but then my knowledge of flora & fauna is limited to say the least), looks nice though.

Is mountain ash the same thing! and are they all Sorbus?

[Sinta]

I think mountain ash is just another name for the rowan tree. I heard its called witchbane as well.
