Tree id please.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2d9d72x&s=4
I took this photo last August on the grounds of Blarney castle, Co. Cork, Ireland. It's quite a good sized tree, I just don't have the full tree in a photo. I've been asked several times what it is . Also, I noticed whilst there that they do have several plants labelled (but alas, not that one perhaps). For when I next go back (I'm in Belgium) does anyone know of the existence of a sort of plants map for the grounds of Blarney Castle? Thanks in advance. |

Wingnut (Pterocarya); I don't think there's enough detail in the photograph to tell which one, but the more commonly grown species is Caucasian Wingnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia). Also, I noticed whilst there that they do have several plants labelled (but alas, not that one perhaps).

Could it perhaps be a Spanish Chestnut (Castanea sativa) which is not unknown in Ireland? -- Gopher .... I know my place! |

Having got properly started in my search on account of Robert's reply, I found http://www.bomengids.nl/uk/soorten/G...n_wingnut.html and in particular; so I would say it's not the castanea, which I am familiar with. |

The message
from Gopher contains these words: In message , aquachimp writes http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2d9d72x&s=4 I took this photo last August on the grounds of Blarney castle, Co. Cork, Ireland.

It's taken five minutes to load - so far - at 45 Kbps general or is slow loading usual for tinypic.com? /general Could it perhaps be a Spanish Chestnut (Castanea sativa) which is not unknown in Ireland? Leaves of the tree in the pic are pinnate - it looks more like a walnut to me, though the leaves seem overlarge for that. Leaves are not deeply serrated enough for sweet (Spanish) chestnut, whose leaves are single, and sweet chestnut's are more of a viridian tint. Can't comment about it's wingnutness as I haven't met this one. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
