Re: Rowan Tree

Our Rowan has its feet in clay, many of the roots are up near the surface
it is around 15+ feet tall and is around 20 years old it has a Gold Heart Ivy growing up it and it attracts birds like a magnet,many roost overnight
(wood pigeons especially) a google earth image shows this and the Weeping Birch to be the prominent features which may account for my suprising variety of bird visitors
