  • Rowan?

    Pretty sure it is, but just wanted another nod

    All of a sudden I seem to see hundreds of these trees around, I think I've been walking around with blinkers on half my life.

    Looks like Rowan (or Mountain Ash as it's also known) to me Chris.

        Agreed, but more importantly how have you been pronouncing it? I usually get that bit wrong.

              Its a very berryiferous year for Rowan. My little tree is laden for the first time.
              I say Roe - an for the tree and Rowan Atkinson but Row (like bow) -an for the ex archbishop - don't ask me why

                              I suspect that the reason why you have noticed more is that there are more. My council have had to remove a lot of trees due to one disease or another over the last few years and many of the replacement trees put in have been rowan. Dont know if there is a particular reason for this choice though.
