Kilkenny - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 Forestry Foliage Production Seminar![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Marketable Foliage from Forest Crops Forest foliage is a growing business in Ireland. While it is still predominantly a Christmas time business, year-round uses are rapidly growing, particularly in the floral trade. Around the world, stems from trees and understorey plant species are profitably harvested from forests for such applications. While forest foliage has been traditionally used as a filler in bouquets and arrangements it is now growing in use in its own right, allied to the trend for all things natural. In fact, many floral artists now use forest foliage on its own to make attractive and saleable arrangements . The production of foliage from many tree and shrub species presents an exciting business opportunity, well suited to the Irish climate. While forest owners wait for early thinning income, revenue from foliage collection is a distinct possibility. With rapidly expanding markets, the time has never been better for land owners to consider forest foliage production as a viable option. |
