Came across this article that is a fun read. Not sure I’d take it too seriously though:

The Celtic Tree Zodiac system is an interesting one. The Celtic culture included much more than Ireland, Scotland… It also included Germanic Territory tribes, British Isles, Wales, England so it reached lands extending closer to Spain. There isn’t much information on Celtic Tree Zodiac, but some things can be derived from what clues we have since a lot of the Celts shared information by word of mouth through their druids and/or bards.

I remember looking up my month when I was learning about Celtic practices and history. It’s a good one and I think how serious a person uses the information would be up to their own learning and beliefs. Maybe as with a lot of things it’s nice to know & if you connect with those qualities.
I like to do quizzes and calculators, then see what it says. I think one of my favorite things is that the link directs you to a gardening site. I was just moving my plants to their new homes around the house and thinking of things I need to pick up for said plants 
My Celtic Tree Zodiac is Reed, not technically a tree, more of a plant.

I was a holly. I wonder if that is why I want to plant one so badly.

Oh that would be interesting 
Maybe look into the Holly tree meaning & symbolism. It may really resonate with you & why you’d want to have them around you too!

I’ve always thought this kind of stuff is fun, even if it’s a newer idea. I’m supposedly an Oak.

Thanks for this. I’m a Hazel. When I was young, I had a photographic memory, but I haven’t used it in a long time. I always liked the story of how the salmon ate the hazelnuts that fell in the pool and became wise. When the neighbors planted a Hazel in their yard, it killed our rhubarb, so I wasn’t impressed with the real plant. The nuts themselves are bitter, so I need something to eat them with to make them palatable. Didn’t hear the tales of fairies liking Hazel nut trees until I moved away from my childhood home, so I never tried to use a branch. I still have much to learn.

I love this! Thank you for posting this, @veronica1!
My birth month tree is the Birch tree. It so happens that when we had to replace a dead ornamental Japanese Maple this spring, I campaigned for a river birch! I have a very small yard, so I researched and found a dwarf river Birch called “Little King.”
He looks more like a shrub right now than a tree. 
Eventually he’ll top out around 10 feet.
I couldn’t explain why I wanted this particular tree, I was drawn to it somehow. Now I learn that I picked my birth month tree. Who knew?
I looked at my husband’s birth month tree, and it’s not really a tree - it’s grape vines. He’ll be happy with that, since we’ve made wine in the past and he’s an oenophile, to boot.
I like this zodiac calendar!

I think people can connect with the Celtic Tree Calendar and using it as a Zodiac type of theme. I know Ogham is a bit of the same type of information and using Ogham for divination and not just a language or alphabet is something that is done. I mentioned it was new from information about Robert Graves, but before then it was probably more territory based as far as the Celtic tribes across the pond. (I hope that makes sense)
- The two following links are from the Weekly Witchy Challenge: Sacred Trees. The first link is part of a catch up challenge. The second link goes to that particular challenge, where there is also other entries regarding the Celtic Tree(s) Calendar.

I wouldn’t say it’s completely new to the craft, in some way the druids and Celts, Irish, UK area & territories, among other territories probably had some kind of associations with the Celtic Trees & Ogham. Robert Graves did bring it to a more common practice within the craft implementing it more widespread than the celts and their areas using them in their culture. (Another word salad… Sorry 
)
