It is the American kissing cousin, Sorbus americana. The two species are very much alike.
Somebody told me if you soak the berries in vodka, you get a tasty concoction.

A fella up the road from me has one of these growing as an ornamental in his front yard, you drive by and ignore the thing all season until Fall and its literally hanging from the weight of the bright red berries on its limbs and the orange leaves backlight it all. Very lovely tree.

Could be a waste of Vodka judgeing by my experience. I went through a stage of making homemade wine and was really pleased with the results. Until it came to the Rowan berry wine.........Chewing a mouthful of headache tablets will give you an idea of the flavour.bonsaisr wrote:It is the American kissing cousin, Sorbus americana.

Thanks all. It's new to me, though it appears to grow on the highest peaks (5,000 ft) around here. It's main range is much to the north of NC.
It is a lovely tree with the fruits.
That's the rushing tide of the Bay of Fundy behind it.

Warning from a former owner (yard tree). You don't plant one anywhere near the driveway. I don't know about it as bonsai, but in the ground it is subject to the ills of the Rosaceae. It is susceptible to rot and is not long-lived, maybe 40 years.
