The days proceedings at Dromana will culminate with a presentation by heraldic expert Gerard Crotty, of his newly produced FitzGerald family tree.
This will be followed by a symbolic planting of an actual cherry tree, linking the family back to the famous Countess Katherine of Desmond, who lost her long life when she fell from one at Dromana in 1604. This will be followed by a short celebratory reception and a group photo.
