try the taste test too as I rather enjoy apples that are just a little bit un-ripe as far as the official opinion goes! I have a small patio and decking area and would like to grow fruit trees, perhaps apples and pears, in pots. Do I look by Susan St James

Rowan Tree

you p8ssi0n, Rowan are "Sorbus Rosaceae" and can grow quite large, if you do not have room for it the best plan is to give to some one who has. It has orange fruit which are poisonous so should be kept away from children.It needs full sun or semi shade by p8ssi0n
