Aesculus hippocastanum is native to a small area in the Pindus Mountains mixed forests and Balkan mixed forests of South East Europe. However, it can be found in many parts of Europe as far north as Gästrikland in Sweden as well as in many parks and cities in the United States and Canada. It is widely cultivated in streets and parks throughout the temperate world and has been particularly successful in places like Ireland, Great Britain and New Zealand where they are commonly found in parks, streets and avenues. Cultivation for its spectacular spring flowers is successful in a wide range of temperate climatic conditions provided summers are not too hot, with trees being grown as far north as Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Reykjavík, Iceland and Harstad, Norway.

Crataegus, commonly called hawthorn, quickthorn, thornapple, May-tree, whitethorn or hawberry is a genus of several hundred species of shrubs and trees in the family Rosaceae native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia and North America. The name "hawthorn" was originally applied to the species native to northern Europe, especially the common hawthorn C. monogyna and the unmodified name is often so used in Britain and Ireland. The generic epithet "Crataegus" is derived from the Greek kratos "strength" because of the great strength of the wood and akis "sharp", referring to the thorns of some species. The name haw, originally an Old English term for hedge (from the Anglo-Saxon term haguthorn, "a fence with thorns") also applies to the fruit. (Wikipedia).

Rowans (A.K.A. "Mountain Ash" in Britain & Ireland) are mostly small deciduous trees 10–20 m tall, although a few are shrubs. The leaves are arranged alternately and are pinnate with 11–35 leaflets; a terminal leaflet is always present. The flowers are borne in dense corymbs; each flower is creamy white and 5–10 mm across with five petals. The fruit is a small pome 4–8mm in diameter, bright orange or red in most species but pink, yellow or white in some Asian species. The fruit are soft and juicy which makes them a very good food for birds, particularly waxwings and thrushes which then distribute the seeds in their droppings. Due to their small size the fruits are often referred to as berries but a berry is a simple fruit produced from a single ovary, whereas a pome is an accessory fruit. The best-known species is the European Rowan Sorbus aucuparia, a small tree typically 4–12 m tall growing in a variety of habitats throughout northern Europe and in mountains in southern Europe and southwest Asia. Its berries are a favourite food for many birds and are a traditional wild-collected food in Britain and Scandinavia. It is one of the hardiest European trees, occurring to 71° north in Vardø in Arctic Norway and has also become widely naturalised in northern North America. (Wikipedia). Camera Sony RX100.
