Still Waters Posted June 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ash dieback is now unstoppable and could wipe out 45 native species and endanger the habitats of nearly 1,000 others, ecologists have warned. Britain's ash trees are now 'doomed,' tree experts claim, and their demise threatens hundreds of insects, mosses, lichens and birds. http://www.telegraph...gists-warn.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightly Posted June 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I didn't know they were dying in England... they are dying in 22 U.S. States too. They have all died (about 12) on my 10 acres , and the neighbor's land Edited June 9, 2014 by lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Kitten Posted June 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2014 cant we just destroy all infected and surrounding trees which sounds horrible but at least future generations will be able to enjoy them The government stated that ordinary people are not permitted to do anything to the infected trees without consulting the authorities first. Scientists are looking for a cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee Posted June 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2014 . This is an informative short vid about the history of this tragedy....(in Britain) Apparently the fungus to blame is a new species.. First found in Poland in the early 1990s..first found in a nursery in Britain in Feb 2012.. That came from saplings imported from continental Europe... For heaven's sake....why the hell did anyone have to import saplings from anywhere else...???.... This country is covered in Ash Trees.....
