rowan
Red-berried highland tree
A rowan is a tree or shrub of the genus Sorbus, especially the European mountain ash, known for clusters of white flowers and bright red berries.
The berries have traditional associations with protection against witchcraft and evil spirits in Celtic and Scandinavian folklore.
Rowans lined the path to the old cottage. (Capitalized Rowan is a given name.)
