Wonderful year for our trees

As we move towards autumn, people everywhere are remarking how magnificent trees look this year. With favourable weather all summer, no wonder our wide variety of trees are wearing cloaks of lush green. Visitors, who so often remark how green Ireland is, talk about their admiration of roadside trees.

A few months ago, we mentioned the archway of branches over the entrance to UCC, from the Western Road side. Many other examples also come to mind. On the road from Cork to Tralee, for instance, there’s a splendid canopy at Ballyvourney along where the former Coláiste Iosagáin stands.
