The Sessile Oak is the national tree of the Republic of Ireland. It can grow up to 130' (40 metres) and is native to most of Europe. Apart from being a good source of wood fuel, the timber is also used for building, cabinetmaking and veneers. The acorns are used to fatten grazing animals in the autumn.
for the letter Q - Quercus

Quercus appears on several stamps, but this is the first time I've seen it on a Irish Stamp. I pass several of the trees in a local wood. They are truly magnificent.
I knew Latin names would come in handy today but I was just too lazy to think... I guess I will have to make it up with the X :)))
Nice stamp - not sure if we have this kind of oak here.
I love this kind of stams showing trees on a white background. They remind me the old botany books.
This is a lovely stamp. Nice that it is square, which allows you to appreciate the shape of the tree.
I always enjoy seeing the Gaelic names for flora and fauna on their stamps.
