Trees of Beltane, Rowan

A Rowan tree is one for protection and healing.   Branches of Rowan have been placed as protection over the doorways of homes and barns at Beltane to protect from increased Faery activity as they woke from their winter slumber.   As well as this Sprigs of Rowan were worn for protection   Rowan berries have a tiny five-pointed star on the underside reminiscent of the pentagram.
