Hello and welcome to the 9th (lunar) month of the year on our ‘Celtic Tree Calendar’ .. which begins tomorrow (August 5th) and takes us through to September 1st .. 🙂
As promised in my last blog post I have just re- published an ‘alternative Ogham’ which I compiled back in 2011 for followers in Australia – the full version can now be found here 😉
So here is my Australian choice for this month’s tree – Hazel ..
Coll – Macadamia

Macadamia integrifolia – just one of the seven species of Macadamia native to Australia, this is the one that grows in Queensland – Common names: Bauple Nut, Queensland Nut and Nut Oak.
The trees are small to large evergreens, which can grow up to 12 metres in height – some Indigenous Australian names are gyndl, jindilli and boombera.
The nuts are a valuable food product with the highest amount of beneficial monounsaturated fat of any known nut, the oil is also highly prized in the cosmetics and skincare industry.
Wishing you all a truly wonderful month ahead! 😉
Divine Ogham
