"As the deadly #FungalDisease tightens its grip, scientific efforts to protect ash trees are advancing... Research suggests many of Britain’s #AshTrees might be more resilient than initially believed – and emerging solutions could help protect them... Efforts to protect ash #trees are advancing on three fronts, each offering potential solutions."

An excellent article today.

I am still seeing ash trees with beautiful canopies.

🌿🔬Hope for ash trees: In a new study, ZALF researchers report on a bacterium that may help combat #ashdieback. 🌳🦠Details on the study: https://www.zalf.de/en/aktuelles/pages/PB1/Eschentriebsterben.aspx

Not perfect but this canopy of ash is still looking reasonably healthy. These plants are growing in very crowded conditions alongside field maple.

I just wonder whether there is tomato and basil effect.

In remembrance of times past. An appeal film I made about the Ash tree. 😢

Saddened to see the ash tree in the front garden is showing more of the ash die-back infection than before. Last year it was so vigorous that I had thought it had managed to come through, after three years of looking pretty sick, but it is evidently still struggling.

#AshDieBack is having a devastating impact on our local woodlands. Here is a project researching the benefit of #biochar in fighting the disease.

Looks promising

Really great video from Cumbria Wildlife Trust about Ash Dieback, and explaining that some trees are going to have to be felled

Good news for a #tree species that was already thought to be doomed: A glimmer of hope – #ash #genotypes with increased #resistance to #AshDieback pathogen show cross-resistance to #EmeraldAshBorer: https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.19068

We have 5 mature ash trees in our garden, all showing signs of #ashdieback. Interestingly, the healthiest/looking ash tree nearby is this one in adjacent land. Was almost destroyed in a storm several years ago. Maybe surviving that onslaught has given something that mitigates the disease?

V important meeting @semplestadium on #AshDieback - essential that compensation & other effective measures need to be implemented urgently. The whole licensing delays have to be addressed also.

Last November I walked the South Downs Way, a long-distance footpath in south-east England. Along the way I learned a lot about the challenges facing wildlife and plant life in one of the country's most beautiful landscapes.
