An Cuileann

Bia luachmhar iad caora an chuilinn shíorghlais ag an bhfiadhúlra sa gheimhreadh nuair a bhíonn na torthaí fiáine eile imithe le fada. Is ar an gcrann baineann amháin a bhíonn na caora. Fásann an cuileann go maith faoi scáth agus is féidir leis maireachtáil go maith faoi cheannbhrat na gcrann níos mó.

Holly

The berries of the familiar evergreen holly are a valuable food for wildlife during the lean winter months, when other wild fruits have long gone. Only the female plant produces berries. Holly grows well in the shade, so can flourish under the bigger canopy trees.
