sorry to sound a little daft but am i right in thinking that this primarily effects young trees stressed tree ? is it mainly young growth and re growth thats effected ? the only reason im asking is that im curious as to whether or not a healthy tree that is showing symptoms can be left alone and recover in its own time ?

 

sorry if it sounds a little silly but im curious to see what the outcome may be .

the die back in one of the woods in norfolk was on 100 year old stools that i had coppiced 2 years before , i suppose they could be classed as young trees ? when growing from the stool

Damn if its in the north won't be long until its hits Cavan where I am from, the majority of hedgerow trees round my dads farm would be ash. Bad times

Are all trees not in realty young, the "living" part is only a year or so old.
