Birth trees

[FGYT]

Like birth stones and star signs you can have birth trees associated to when you where born

ive done a Google or 2 and found various lists and dates all seem to be different ( like the many Stone charts i guess)

any body got any idea on a a UK based original ive found celtic ones and even some of those vary

im trying to find Trees to associat to myself and my Wife so i can incorperate them into a knife handle along with Rowan and Holly which are the names of my Kids taken from the trees etc

This is the UK version that I come across most often - it is closly linked with the ogham, an old form of writing

Hope thats helpful

It would seem that my Birth Tree is Holly...
So I am spikey on the outside but whiter than white on the inside?

 

[hiho]

I'm a vine...

 

[Snufkin]

And I'm Hawthorn. Twisted and spikey...That's about right actually.

Ivy for me, if left alone can pull walls down but not much use otherwise

Nice one Wood

Tis Hazel for me. Well, I have always been fond of the color, and the nuts.
(other than just being a colorful nut)

Good for hedges/coppicing, brooms, thatching pins/pegs, barrel hoops, wattle/daub infill in place of brick, and hurdles.

But I've always been far more fond of the Earth spirits. And play with Earth/Wind/Fire all the time! (but can't carry a tune well enough to be in the band)

Yes, good one, Wood. And we have your "tree" spirit to thank for Asprin! And some wonderful baskets.

thats a nice simple listing and i found it on a plain web page
on that list My wife is Vine ??? is that grape or some other Tree (i assume celts didnt have Grape vines though)
and mine is Reed ?? is that a tree ??? probably not a good knife handle

coincidentally on that list my Daughter Holly's Tree is Rowan
shame Rowan wasnt born as a Holly

however i alos found these which have lots more trees
