TV shows we see in the US show beautiful green Ireland, and we hear
about abundant rainfall, but see very few trees. Is the terrain,
clmate, etc. not suitable to trees or is it because animals chomp
them?

Certainly where I live in West Cork there are plenty of trees even though
other areas are barren. The rainfall here is not as great as some think
and all that it really shows is that TV programs give a limited and
distorted view of Ireland, or indeed any country in general.
