Rowan tree

16 May 2020

Rowan is hermaphrodite, meaning each flower contains both male and female reproductive parts. Flowers are borne in dense clusters, each one bearing five creamy-white petals.

After successful pollination by insects, the flowers develop into scarlet fruits. The seeds are dispersed by birds.
