however, have been introduced many years ago and is now 
thoroughly established in the county. 
S. alba Linn. White Willow.

Alien. Damp places, nearly always in hedges or about

More frequent in the north than elsewhere in the county 
but looks less native than even S. fragilis. It appears to 
reach a greater size in Kerry than the preceding ; several 
very large trees may be seen about Ballyhorgan south-west 
of Listowel.
