Castle Grounds - Part 2

"The trees forming the Front Avenue are mainly Lime trees with a few Sycamore; they were planted in 1680 from France. In 1933 Mr. Fitzpatrick, of the Forestry Department, included some of these for measurement. Two of them, on the right side, looking down from the castle were found to be 110 feet, the tallest recorded lime and sycamore in Ireland at that time. The fine deodar cedar was probably planted in 1890. About 20 fan palms (chamerops) were planted from 1903 onwards by Manning Robertson, who also planted the pinus insignis, above the horse pond, and the grove of cypresses." Quote from the Guide to Clonegal Castle by Lawrence Durdin-Robertson.
