Tomás Ó MuircheartaighSurrounded by the sea and high mountains, Kerry's climate is too moist for the growth of cereals, so most farming is pasture based.
Forestry is a growing industry in the county. It is so mild even in winter that arbutus , and other trees usually found in warm climates, grow readily in Kerry. Also, several flowering plants which are unknown in other parts of Ireland are found here.
