The Rowan Tree is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree typically growing to 8–10 m tall, more rarely 20 m, and exceptionally to 28 m.
The hermaphrodite flowers are produced in large groups 8–15 cm in diameter with up to 250 flowers. The individual flowers are only 1 cm in diameter.
Rowan is very tolerant of cold and a wide range of soil conditions.
The fruit, called rowan berries in culinary usage, are usually quite bitter, but are used to make jam or jelly, with a distinctive bitter flavor. Rowan jelly is a traditional accompaniment to game and venison.
Rowan needs another nearby for pollination.
Hardy in USDA Zones 2-6.
