About this ebook
Name the five Great Trees of Ireland? What trees are most often found beside holy wells or cemeteries? Which tree gave the Red Branch Knights of Ulster their name? Ireland was once so heavily wooded it was said a squirrel could travel from Cork to Killarney without touching the ground. So it is no surprise that, in ancient Ireland, mythology and folklore were a part of the people's general knowledge about trees. Many of the myths and legends and much of the folklore associated with native trees persists to this day and are gathered together in this book.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is full of both inaccuracies AND tons of gems. Lots of legitimate folklore compiled, yet the author still chose to use the completely falsified "tree calendar" that has no factual basis. Also some of the ogham are wrong, since there's multiple contradicting tree ogham lists out there, and this doesnt use the one from the Auraicept. Overall, I expected it all to be nonsense, but was shocked by some gems of folklore. Great for research - just do fact check it!!!
