  Ornamental cultivar of rowan. Sorbus somethingus. The council probably thought your house needed protection from witches which was nice of them. I planted one in front of my house and my mother hardly ever visits now so they may be onto something.
  

  If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

  Nice tree. Can they come round to our place and plant one here?

  Love the colour of the berries - do you think the birds might give them a miss?

  So far the birds have avoided them but I suspect it's only a matter of time. My house has thousands of holly berries around it so they will probably finish them off first

  They take red berries first , then orange and yellow. The pink and white ones usually get left until there are no other options. If you live in a milder area, they often won't get eaten at all. 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
