THE
PEOPLE'S MILLENNIUM FORESTS : TREES
Ash,
Fuinseog:
The
ash is the most common tree in Irish hedgerows. It is one of the
last trees to grow new leaves in the spring and one of the first
to lose its leaves in the autumn. The seeds are called keys and
can be seen hanging in clumps on the tree well into winter. Ash
wood has many uses, the most famous being the manufacture of hurley
sticks.
