Rowan?

[chris]

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.

[chris]

Thank you

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.
