Sorbus aucuparia, Linn. (Pyrus Aucuparia, Gaertn.). European Mountain-ash. Rowan Tree. Fig. 3649. Round-headed tree, 20-40, occasionally 60 ft. high: young branchlets pubescent, grayish brown when older: petioles more or less tomentose; lfts. 9-15, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, serrate, entire toward the base, dull green above, pubescent beneath or rarely glabrous, 3/4 - 2 in. long: fls. white, 1/3 in. across, in flat, 4-6-in.-broad, tomentose or sometimes almost glabrous corymbs; stamens about as long as petals: fr. globose, about 1/3 in. across, bright red. May, June. Eu. to W. Asia and Siberia. H.W. 3:54, pp. 78, 79. Var. dulcis, Kraetzl (var. moravica, Zengerling). Almost glabrous: petioles purplish; lfts. oblong-lanceolate, 2-3 in. long, glaucescent beneath, usually serrate only above the middle. The frs. are of an agreeable acid flavor and recommended for preserves. The tree thrives well in cold northern climates where hardly any other fr.-tree will grow. G.M. 52:887. Var. rossica, Spaeth, is similar and also bears edible fr., but the lfts. are larger and broader and more serrate. Var. Beissneri, Rehd. (var. dulcis laciniata, Beissn., not var. laciniata, Hartm.), is a handsome and graceful form of var. dulcis with the lfts. pinnately lobed and the lf .-stalks and young branchlets bright red. G.W. 3:267. Var. fastigiata, Loud., forms a narrow pyramidal tree, with upright branches. Var. pendula, Hort., has long and slender pendulous branches. M.D. 1911, p. 246. Var. integerrima, Lange. Lfts. entire or nearly so. Var. Fifeana, Dipp. (var. fructuluteo, Hort.). Fr. yellow. There are also varieties with variegated foliage.—This species is often planted as a street tree in mountain regions of Eu.

+'''''Sorbus aucuparia''''' ('''Rowan''', '''European Rowan''', '''Mountain ash''', or '''European mountain ash'''), is a species of the genus [[Sorbus]], native to most of [[Europe]] except for the far south, and northern [[Asia]]. In the south of its range in the [[Mediterranean region]] it is confined to high altitudes in mountains.<ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''.

-Widely grown as an ornamental tree in northern Europe, more locally in northern North America, where also sometimes naturalised.
+Rowan is very tolerant of cold and is often found at high altitude on mountains; in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] it occurs at up to 1 000 m altitude, higher than any other tree, and in [[France]] up to 2 000 m.<ref name=arkive/><ref name=tfl/><ref name=afm2>Mitchell, A.
