| | Rowan - Mountain Ash Tree |
 | | Whilst the White Beam and Wild Service are also common in rocky, hilly, or even mountainous situations, it is especially the Rowan that rejoices in bleak, rocky crags, overhanging the gills and becks of mountains. |
 | | The Mountain Ash attains a height of from ten to thirty feet, and sometimes exceeds two feet in diameter, growing very rapidly at first. |
 | | Their hue is not the blood-red of the Guelder Rose, nor the crimson often seen in the haws of the Whitethorn, but a less common tint containing a considerable admixture of yellow, a scarlet sometimes matched in the hips of the Rose. |
