Compare this listing for an edible mountain ash on the Jungs Nursery website:
Rabina Mountain Ash
http://www.jungseed.com/dp3.asp?c=&sku=22560
Sorbus
Zones 3-9 - A unique true mountain ash found growing in the wild in Russia. Unlike other mountain ash, Rabina has remarkably good tasting fruit with a sweet-tart, non-bitter flavor. High in vitamins A and C, the abundant bright orange berries are good for fresh eating, juice, preserves, pastry and wine. The small ornamental trees grow up to 20 feet tall and have attractive pinnate foliage that turns orange-red in fall. 3 to 5 ft. bareroot trees.

We have a Ukrainian immigrant who works for us
and she got really excited when she saw the plants (and fruit). She
remembered eating it in Russia where they call it "Rabinia" (requires a
tongue roll on the RRRRRR).
