Wood for the tees: golf course pays €30,000 for poplars

A TOP golf course in Co Limerick yesterday branched out and bought two gigantic 50-year-old trees for €30,000.

The biggest trees ever planted in this country were rooted into large craters excavated at Adare Manor Hotel golf course, after being brought over from Belgium.

The two Silver Poplars last night nestled majestically by the river Maigue.
