1638 The Trees of Great Britain and Ireland 



At Nant-y-Glyn Hall, Colwyn Bay, North Wales, there is a tree about 20 ft. 

 high. At Cefnamwich, Nevin, Mr. Hugh S. Jones informs us that he has a tree, 

 45 ft. high, which he raised from seed sixteen years ago. 



On the west coast of Scotland this is one of the most successful species. A 

 tree^ at Stonefield, Loch Fyne, the residence of C. G. P. Campbell, Esq., was 

 reported by the forester, Mr. R. Stewart, to be 47 ft. by 2 ft. 8 in. at 4 feet from the 

 ground in 19 10, and had never been injured by frost. At Castle Kennedy, there is 

 a healthy young tree, which was raised from seed of a tree erroneously named E. 

 amygdalina, which died some years ago. At Monreith, a young tree received from 

 Mr. Birkbeck in 1899, is about 17 ft. high, and produces- flowers and fruit regularly. 

 At Dalkeith, this species,^ growing in a sheltered spot, bore without injury the severe 

 frost of 7th January 1894, when the thermometer fell to 4° Fahr. 



At Kinloch Hourn,^ this species is very hardy, and there are several fine 

 specimens, none of which were touched by the severe frost in 1893- 1894. It was 

 killed, however, in 1895 at Kilmarnock and at Whittingehame, where the tree was ten 

 years old. At Roseneath,^ a tree planted in 1886, flowered in July 1891, when only 

 6| ft. high, and was 19J ft. high in 1905. In Arran,^ where it was planted in 1886 

 in a very exposed site at 250 feet above sea-level, it was 14 ft. in 1895, but 

 succumbed in the following winter. At Gadgirth,* Ayrshire, it also died, when about 

 5 ft. high. At Inverewe, this species is reported to be very successful. 



In Ireland, this species has not been tried extensively; but it is perfectly hardy 

 and thriving at Kilmacurragh and Mount Usher in Wicklow, and at Rossdohan in 

 Kerry. At Coolfin, near Portlaw, Co. Waterford, the residence of Rev. W. W. 

 Flemyng,* there is a fine specimen, which was planted quite small in 1898, and 

 measured no less than 35 ft. high in 1907. (A. H.)

1 Dr. Landsborough, in Trans. Bot. Soc. Edin. xx. 518 (1896) and xxiii. 145 (1905), states that it was sown in 1881 ; 

 flowered in 189S, when it was 21 ft. high; and was 27 ft. by 2 ft. 4 in. in 1905.

6 As Maiden points out, in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, xxvi. 588 (1901), this differs in no respect from the typical 

 form of the species. 



8 Maiden, in Rep. Austr. Assoc. Advance. Sc, Hobart, 1902, p. 377, suppresses var. glauca, which is only the typical 

 form of the species.
