DescriptionBeeBee Tree In The People's Park In Limerick Is Now A work Of Art (14220517070).jpg
Some of the oldest and rarest trees knocked over in Limerick’s People’s Park by Storm Darwin have been given a new lease of life by being transformed into works of art.
The park was forced to close for two weeks in February after Storm Darwin caused 19 trees to fall and work was needed to repair damaged pavements, railings and unblock pathways.
Quite a few trees were lost, but staff were particularly sad to lose one of the rarest trees in the park, an ornamental tree called a ‘Tetradium Danielli” which was more than ninety years old.
It’s commonly called a ‘Bee Bee’ tree as it is covered in late July and August with masses of small white flowers which attracts large numbers of bees as a source of late summer honey.
Zambian woodcarver Paradazi Havatyitye carved three beautiful bees in the remaining stump.
