Some Monterey trees in Ireland By A. Mitchell, Agr.(Forest)B. At first sight it seems strange that trees found in nature only on the Monterey peninsula in California, a place of hot, dry summers, should grow with singular speed and luxuriance in cool, damp Ireland. In fact, they do not really like Monterey at all. They only grow there, which is not the same thing. During the onset of the Ice Ages, the trees of the R09ky Mountain complex could move south ahead of the cold, follo)"'­ ing their preferred climate towards, and into, Mexico, since the ranges run north and south. When this was (as we hope) all over, the trees migrated north again. Some, however, took a wrong turning. Erosion by the sea had cut the minor range and left the stub as a peninsula. The trees could go no further, and as the hills and valleys behind became drier and hotter, they could not retreat.

  • The Tree Register of Ireland
    The Tree Register of Ireland Mark Twomet, Aubrey FennelP and Frances McHugh3 Abstract The Tree Council ofIreland and The Irish Tree Society initiated the Tree Register ofIreland (TROI) project in 1999 with the aim of compiling a database of trees in Ireland. Five thousand two hundred trees were measured and recorded over the period 1999 to 200 I. Of these some 3000 had previously been recorded by Alan Mitchell on behalf of the Tree Register of the British Isles (TROBI). Mitchell covered many of the large estates, public parks and gardens throughout Ireland. Many of Ireland's finest trees however, are found on private farmland and in gardens. TROI endeavoured to both update the tree measurements taken by Mitchell, and to locate and record new trees which were growing in less conspicuous locations. The tallest tree measured was a Douglas fir at Powerscourt, Co Wicklow standing at 57.5 m. The largest girth tree was a Monterey cypress at Killyleigh, Co Down, measuring 12.09 m. The oldest tree recorded was a yew in Co Wexford, which was estimated to be between 800 and 1200 years old. Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) technology was used to accurately determine tree location and to facilitate subsequent relocation. The Tree Register can be viewed at the National Botanic Gardens at Glasnevin, Dublin and pro­ vides the most comprehensive database of outstanding tree specimens in Ireland. Keywords Differential global positioning system, champion trees, Tree Register of Ireland, TROI, Tree Register of the British Isles, TROBI. Tree recording in Ireland The Dublin Society, founded in 1732, began, in the mid eighteenth century, to encourage the creation of woodlands and forests by awarding premiums (grants) to landowners who planted trees.
