3d model red mountain ash - Mountain ash by 3DRivers by 3DRivers

The rowans or mountain-ashes are native throughout the cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the highest species diversity in the mountains of western China and the Himalaya, where numerous apomictic microspecies occur. One particularly confusing name for rowans, used primarily in North America, is 'mountain ash', which falsely implies that it is a species of ash. The name mountain ash arises from the superficial similarity in leaf shape of the two trees; in fact, the rowan does not belong to the ash family, but is closely related to the apples and hawthorns in the rose family.

The European mountain ash (rowan) has a long tradition in European mythology and folklore. Mountain ash was thought to be a magical tree and protection against malevolent beings. It was said in England that this was the tree on which the Devil hanged his mother.
