Consider how much many adults know about words for trees like bay, alder, hornbeam, rowan, or gingko.
Scots pine is, of course, the dominant plant species, but other trees, including birch, alder, willow, aspen, rowan, juniper and holly, also appear.

For example, small semi-natural clusters of oak or rowan can be found on some areas of high moor.
