    We're talking about this. http://i.imgur.com/IH0Cs.jpg

    Sapper said it looks like Rowan. I just naturally made the conclusion that you were reffering to this as Larch because that has red seeds, and that was the only similar one to this so-called "Rowan" in your list that I quoted. There, I hope that makes sense now. Heh heh.

    Edit: I shouldn't have tried to interperet what you meant because, quite frankly, I'm clueless.

    I think I'm going to watch some videos on tree identification.

    I agree with Sapper, looks very much like Rowan. Also called Mountain Ash, the leaves are similar to Ash trees. Its a tree that grows well in Scotland.

    Ah, well that settles it. Two people, yourself and Sapper, have named it Rowan. And what do you know, I was in Scotland. What are the chances?

    Cheers!

    Okay, I think we've talked enough about tree indentifcation in this thread. This was about keeping the environment clean. I hate when I make threads go off-topic. 'Twas mine own fault. : )

    Larch seeds are nothing like Rowan seeds btw..

    I've just been reading about the Rowan in all its detail (interesting folklore). I could've eaten the scarlet berries, right? Darn! I wish I'd have known back then.
