A rowan tree.
I went for a walk and saw a rowan tree.
I often take photos of flowers, trees, and other things when I go for a walk. I enjoy taking photos and sharing them with you. I鈥檓 not a professional photographer. But I try to take high-quality photos. Sometimes I take photos with my camera when I bring it along. When I don鈥檛 have my camera with me, I take photos with my phone鈥檚 camera.
Rowan can grow as a shrub or as a tree. Right now, the rowan berries aren鈥檛 ripe yet鈥攖hey鈥檙e still green. As the cold weather approaches, they鈥檒l ripen and turn red. They鈥檙e frost-resistant. In winter, you can see clusters of red rowan berries covered in snow, or sometimes they鈥檙e covered in ice.
Rowan berries are a healthy fruit.
Rowan berries have a tart flavor. They鈥檙e harvested before the first frost; at that time, they become tastier, less tart, and lose their astringency.
As I mentioned, rowan berries are healthy鈥攖hey contain vitamin C.
They鈥檙e used in cooking to make juice, jam, and other treats.
It鈥檚 also used in medicine because it鈥檚 rich in vitamins. It even helps treat intestinal infections and is used for colds. It also improves appetite.
This is the kind of beautiful and healthy tree that grows here.
I forgot to mention that when the berries are ripe, they attract birds.
