Asplenifolia is a form of the native Rowan or Mountain Ash. The leaves are more highly feathered than other forms, and it is sometimes known as the Cut-leaf Rowan. It also grows with a somewhat more upright shape than other Rowans.
The berries are the classic rowan orange / red, and can be used making rowan jelly (similar to crab-apple jelly) - or simply feeding the birds.

Asplenifolia shares all the characteristics of its species - easy to grow, and a reliable choice if you have an exposed site or difficult soil conditions (including acidic soils).
