And in the ogham?

Yes: Ailm, of uncertain meaning, perhaps pine or fir. The ogham is the alphabet of early Ireland from which Robert Graves drew his tree calendar; only ten of the horoscope's 21 trees appear in it (pine and fir share one letter).

Dates: majority version of four published tables. Traits: those the tree horoscope lends (Gerbeaud). Botany: Wikipedia and Wikidata. Ogham: Wikipedia (after McManus and the Auraicept na n-Éces).
