Himalayan Tree Cotoneaster

Carry on down Asmuns Hill.
Nothing now remains to show that this part of the road was first planted with Himalayan Tree Cotoneaster. On the right side is a Rowan or Mountain Ash. In late summer and autumn, they have clusters of red berries which can be made into a jelly for eating with game. Rowans used to be planted on either side of gateways or in churchyards, to keep evil spirits and witches away.
