We had one tree that looks really different from the rest. It's growing in a clump. After a long search, I've decided it is a Mountain Ash. I thought it could be the native Western Mountain Ash, but based on the fruits, and the size of the tree, I'm 99% certain it is the European variety. I think we'll take it out. There is what looks like a Noble Fir underneath it, that would gladly take it's place.
The fruits are mildly edible, but we've got enough fruits.
Supposedly the wood is flexible and good for woodworking, so maybe when we have a project, we can cut it down and use the wood.
