First cultivated in 1811. The Mountain Ash is a northern tree that is a true plastic taxon
inasmuch as it will interbreed with other families of trees and plants including the great
rose family. The fruit has been known to intoxicate birds. Also known as the Rowantree
because it resembles the European Rowantree. The bark was used as a anti-malarial medicine
by pioneer doctors because of its close resemblance to the Quininetree. It was also
believed to be powerful in exorcising witches by the early settlers and was known as
Witchwood.
