An Caorthann

Bíonn rath ar chaorthann in ithreacha bochta. Is féidir leis fás go hairde 15-20m agus tá coirt mhín liathdhonn aige. Tá na bláthanna buíbhán agus le feiceáil i mBealtaine - forbraíonn siad ina gcaora dearga le teacht an fhómhair. Is foinse bhia tábhachtach iad na caora d’ éin sna hardtailte agus sléibhte.

Mountain Ash

Mountain ash thrives on poorer soils. It can grow 15-20m in height and has smooth grey-brown bark. The flowers are creamy white and appear in May, developing into red berries by autumn. These berries are an important food-source for upland and mountain birds.
