The rowan tree stands close to the shop at Ferstikla, right by the Hvalfjarðarvegur road and is easily visible from the road. The tree was planted in 1945, along with six other rowans. The trees initially thrived but after being sprayed accidentally with a cooling liquid from a fire prevention system six of the trees died and the one remaining tree suffered serious frost damage. The remaining tree recovered, however, and has since grown and thrived. The farmer at Ferstikla has looked after the tree, giving it fertilizer now and then and guarded it against any plans to cut it down. Now the tree lends beauty to the spot.
