Irish trees for the garden

QuestionsIrish trees for the garden
Mary McGann Staff asked 15 years ago

I have a garden space of roughly 50 feet by 40 feet which I would love to fill up with trees (not fruit-producing), as a sort of mini-forest (I don’t want to be cutting grass). This space is about 20 feet from the house, but is beside a concreted area.The features I would like are: native Irish if possible, quick-growing, good cover (from the neighbours), a nice blaze of colour. I’m probably asking for too much, but can you suggest anything?
