What if austerity was never necessary? Where would we be now? Without rioting in France, for a start. And in a country with hope, and not despair, as we have here in the UK. It is time to consign austerity to history for good. youtu.be/0c61E0MKCF8?...

I only plant trees if there's a really solid case for it, as I believe there is with aspen, pine, arbutus and yew in my part of Beara. Some species only belong in certain areas of Ireland: going beyond that risks becoming just a form of gardening!
Show PostI had already introduced aspen, pine and arbutus, while the yew (from Killarney) is new. I'm a big advocate of natural regeneration over planting, but clearly that can only work with species still present. Others that have been lost need to be brought back, using trees from as nearby as possible.
Show PostLast week on the way home from speaking engagements up country, I stopped into Bernard Carey in Clare, who grows trees from native Irish seed. Like a kid let loose in a sweet shop, this was the car all the way back to Beara, fully loaded with aspen, pine, arbutus and yew. They all belong here!
