Ash dieback disease

This disease is rapidly infecting many ash trees across the country. Over time this disease will eliminate approximately 95% of the common ash tree in the United Kingdom.

Some signs of ash dieback disease (see images for examples);

  • several dead sections within the canopy
  • not fully coming into leaf
  • leaves develop dark patches in the summer
  • have prolific epicormic shoots (shoots produced from previously dormant buds below the bark)
