Sorbus lanata,[1] or hairy rowan, is a species of rowan deciduous tree of the family Rosaceae.[2] It is a rose plant species which was first described by David Don, and got its current name from Johannes Conrad Schauer.[3] No subspecies are listed in the Catalog of Life.

It measures 10–12 metres (33–39 ft) tall, rarely a shrub. S. lanata is a fruit bearing tree that flowers in May. It can grow in loamy, sandy and clay soils. S. lanata can grow in complete sunlight or semi-shaded areas. It can withstand high wind speeds, but not much of other harsh conditions. The plant is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant in stone gardens, parks and yards.[4]

## Fruit

The fruit of S. lanata has a tropical taste and grows in bunches. The fruits measure between 1 and 3 cm in diameter. The seeds of this fruit contain trace amounts of hydrogen cyanide.[5] This is not much of a problem because there is only a very small amount in the seeds. There are no known medicinal properties of S. lanata and its fruit.[citation needed]

## Distribution

S. lanata plants are found in the northern hemisphere. They grow in cooler areas. Most of the species is found in Eastern China and the Himalayas.[5] A large amount of them is also found in high grazing pastures of the United Kingdom and Ireland.[citation needed]
