There are a lot of rowans in the arboretum and this time of year full of colour. The Sorbus aucuparia was fully load with berries in Holland last autumn, but here in Hackfalls it seems not to feel so well. But some other rowans are stunning.

There are two different kind of leaves on this one tree. Perhaps a difference between young and old leaves?

And then there is a rowan with yellow berries. And it has a silver-white backside of the leaves, what makes it very pretty.

There were not many berries left on the tree, but I found a few in the top. (click on the photo to enlarge, then you will see)
