 Arborescent Rowan: Can grow up to 6 meters and is more heat-loving.

 Aggressiveness: It is important to note that Pallas's Rowan produces abundant root suckers and can quickly invade adjacent areas. Root barriers are recommended for containment.

 Landscaping: Used to create hedges, stabilize slopes (due to its strong root system), and in group plantings. It looks especially impressive near water bodies.
