I read about this tree and found out this.
Within Scottish folklore, it was believed that chopping down a rowan tree would only bring bad luck as they are such a strong symbol of protection. Red is seen as a protective color; this is what attributes protection to the Rowan Tree. The berries were once thought to protect against enchantment and witchcraft.
The apple tree symbolizes a wide range of concepts, including immortality, health, love, and temptation. Its symbolism varies across cultures, appearing in mythology as a source of eternal youth (Norse), a representation of divine gifts (Greek), and a symbol of the cyclical nature of life and death (Celtic).

Those rowan berries are so vivid!
Yes, even without leaves 😀
Lovely vibrant colours. We were always told that lots of red berries on the trees was a sign of a bad winter to come, but I don’t know how true that is xx
yes, same tale here. I don’t know if is that way anymore. It was so the birds would have more food in the cold winter
Ihanan paljon pihlajanmarjoja!
niinpä 😀
What a beautiful and vibrant tree and image.
It was that for a short while. Thx Brad
It looks similar to our burning bush.
How interesting to learn more about the Rowan Tree, Ritva. Such bright and rich reds berries in your images! I captured some pics of one near us with orange-ish berries. Thanks for linking your post! Happy November!
Yes they are mostly orange, I think these are a more cultured ones
Those Rowan trees with the red berries are gorgeous. There are no trees like them where I live.
They are common here usually the trees that grow in the natural areas, woods the berries are orange. These trees have been planted
Wonderful tree and vivid color!
This is a tree I have never seen before. Beautiful! And the folklore is interesting as well.
Glad you enjoyed the post Debbie 😀
