Today I noticed how lovely the rowan I recently bought at Clan Donald Fair is looking in all its glory with the bright red leaves.  It is Sorbus Joseph Rock and I had always wanted one as they have such amazing red leaves in autumn and yellow berries which is quite unusual. 

The tree is too young to have berries this year but hopefully next year we will see them.  I planted it at the gateway to our Breakish Moss Cottage, as every home should have a rowan, and we can all enjoy it.
