The theme for next years Calendar is Native Irish Trees.
Text and some of the photos supplied by John McLoughlin of the Irish Tree Council.
A native tree is defined as one which was present in Ireland, prior to the breaking of the land-bridge with Europe.
All the usual trees like the Oak, the Ash, the Rowan etc are covered.
But did you know that the the Arbutus, or Strawberry Tree is a native Irish tree?
John has included some fascinating information about each species.
We also managed to get photos of the of the flowers or the fruit of each tree as well.
