If you don't get a response contact Fingal County Council, I'm sure they would tell you.

I think they're a Silver Birch, I'll have another look this evening

I think I know where there are similar trees. I'll try and get a photo over the weekend.

Irish Gardener · 26-10-2007 1:42pm

Fair play.

Is that in 'old money' or 'new money'?

Silver Birch.

I'll be planting some chestnuts there over the winter....

thanks

does this mean you work for the landscaping company in charge of this?

any idea where you can buy ball shaped silver birchs like them?

Mr Magnolia · 27-10-2007 5:05pm

Don't think they are silver birch, they're slightly further north on the M1, maybe 300/400 metres from the trees the OP described.

It was justing getting light when I took this, but there should be enough detail to work it out.

tampopo · 01-11-2007 1:42pm

Ah, well, judging by the foliage, I'd guess Rowan/mountain ash.....

Irish Gardener · 01-11-2007 2:00pm

Thanks for going to the trouble to take and post the pic delly.
But at that distance and light they could be any one of a hundred trees.

May not help, but here's the others.

beolight · 01-11-2007 2:52pm

cheers delly:D

what shutterspeed was used

delly · 01-11-2007 2:57pm

1/70 of a second and add to that the forward motion of about 80 km/h equals a very blurry picture

Better alright delly.

Tampopo may be on the right track with the mountain ash alright, as the pic above appears to my eyes, to show foliage comprised of leaflets (leaf-like parts of a compound leaf). Very like the mountain ash.

I could be seeing things though.

I didn't forget about ye. It's dark all the time that I'm not working now though.
