#Rowan aka #MountainAsh #tree #berries. Some birds feed on them. We have a tree that's been in our backyard since before our family bought our property in the early 90s.
There's also a big one growing at Welland Community Orchard too - they planted it there to boost pollination for one hybrid grafted fruit tree - one of the grafts are in the rowan family.
I harvest their berries to use for #PlantBased #NaturalDye making. They have high tannins in them.
#Woodworkers like the dense wood of rowan trees for carving/turning & making tool handles & walking canes.

“When we think of extinction, we think of individual species. But nature doesn’t operate like that. Entire communities and even whole ecosystems are now so compromised they could be lost entirely. Australia now has about 100 ecological communities at risk.
“One of those is the iconic Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) community in Victoria’s Central Highlands…decades of logging, repeated wildfires, and fragmentation of these forests means they and the species which rely on them like Leadbeater’s possum and gliders now face existential threats.”

The hoop pine dominated dry rainforest of south-east Queensland versus the mountain ash dominated temperate rainforest of the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria.
People generally refer to both as simply "the bush."

There's a Rowan tree in our garden that was a squirrel planted finding 25 years ago. Today it's almost as tall as the ouse and covrred in blossom. The wood makes staffs that wizards can sue to ward off evil spirits (they say).
