  1. Just to add Juniper, Hazel ,Alder, Sloe.White thorn, Crabapple, as native.


  2. oak, willow,ash, sycamore  ,hawthorn.holly  ,not  really  sure  but  ,,just  that's  most  common  in  UK   that  can  think  of

  3. oak, pine, silver birch, beech, elm

    introduced - eucalyptus, palm (not a real tree), Sequoia (wellingtonia), some pines - monkey puzzle, orange, lime, fig, London Plane,

  4. I really like to see people choosing to use spelling that is in accordance with the way we speak, instead of insisting on archaic spelling because that is the way most people spell.

    A major problem in answering this question arises from that fact that history is so very long, and so we can not really know that a species of tree might not have been introduced to Ireland at some time far into the past. We might well assume that a tree brought by very early Celtic settlers were native. Or, a Norse raider taking brides off to Iceland might have brought a few trees, but we would by now have come to think of them as native to Ireland. Surely English people and French will have introduced some, and Romans... but unless they caused a big fuss about them arriving, the history books may not have any record of their arrival.

    If birds came to Ireland carrying the seeds of a tree that they had eaten far away, would we call this introduced or native?

  5. Learn how to spell right first, i mean DA and DEM are not english words. I hate people like you.

  6. After the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago, Ireland gradually became covered with trees. These spread naturally across a landbridge which connected Ireland with the UK and possibly the continent. Species which colonised Ireland naturally - without the influence of people - since the last Ice Age are referred to as native trees. At first, juniper and birch started to cover the land and this was followed with hazel and Scots pine. Around 8,000 years ago, when conditions were favourable, oak and elm started to expand. Woodlands of oak, ash, Scots pine, alder and elm developed throughout Ireland from 7,000 to 5,500 years ago and the country was cloaked in a rich tapestry of woodland at that time. The arrival of early farmers heralded the beginning of the steady decline of Ireland's natural woodland cover. From about 5,500 years ago people have hindered the natural development of woodland by felling trees for timber and clearing the land for agricultural use.

    In the meantime:

    A turkey is chatting with a bull.

    "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighs the turkey, "but I just haven't got the energy."

    "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replies the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

    The turkey pecks at a lump of dung and finds that it actually gives him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.

    The next day, after eating some more dung, he reaches the second branch.

    Finally after a week, there he is proudly perched at the top of the tree.

    Unfortunately he is spotted by a farmer, who shoots him out of the tree.

    Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

    A giggle with a tree in the storyline, what more can you ask for?
