Issued by Ireland (Éire), this 10-pence definitive stamp features the Arbutus unedo, commonly known as the Strawberry Tree. The design beautifully depicts both the plant’s delicate white bell-shaped blossoms and its distinctive red fruit. Native to Ireland’s southwest, particularly Killarney, the Strawberry Tree holds cultural and ecological significance as one of the few evergreen trees native to the country. This issue belongs to Ireland’s botanical series celebrating indigenous flora, admired for its fine lithographic detail and naturalist accuracy.
