Mountain-Ash - Sorbus Aucuparia 

Rowan or Mountain-Ash, is a species of deciduous tree or shrub in the rose family.

The tree has a slender trunk with smooth bark, a loose and roundish crown, and its leaves are pinnate in pairs of leaflets on a central vein with a terminal leaflet. It blossoms from May to June in dense corymbs of small yellowish white flowers and develops small red pomes as fruit that ripen from August to October and are eaten by many bird species.

Placement

Full sun or only partial shade. This is a robustly hardy species and frost protection is only required for temperatures below -10 degrees C. 

Watering

Be sure to not allow the soil to dry out. Throughout the growing season Mountain Ash can be watered daily. During winter they can be watered moderately, judged by soil dryness. 

Germination Tip:

After soaking the seed overnight and the seed has not softened or swelled, you will need to scarify the seed coat. Scarifying is the process of weakening the seed coat, so that water and oxygen can enter the seed, in turn, kick starting germination. Seeds will remain  dormant if not exposed to these elements

Scarifying can be achieved by gently rubbing the seed coat with sandpaper, you do not need to rub off the entire coating, just enough for water to enter.

NB: Only scarify the seed coat, do not damage the internal parts of the seed.

Once Scarifying has been done. submerge the seed again as per instructions
