Rowans were trees of the genus Sorbus, also called 'mountain ash'. Found especially on the slopes of Mountains and hills, these trees, with their unmistakable red berries, once grew in the western Fangorn Forest in the regions close to Isengard.
Carnimírië, Orofarnë, and Lassemista were individual rowan-trees of Fangorn.[1]
