The trees in this scheme
Rowan tree
A narrow and graceful tree with fern-like leaves that turn a beautiful burnt orage in autumn. Tolerant of air pollution so perfect for urban gardens. In spring, creamy white flowers are a haven for pollinators and in autumn the tree is festooned with clusters of red berries which are feasted on by birds and mammals, particularly blackbirds and thrushes.
