Just picked this  up on social media.  Discovered in Cornwall, a notifiable disease I expect   Look out for it folks

If the under funded government "forest research"have only just found it then I would expect it to be at pandemic stage already in this country.

Yes your probably bang on the money with that comment and i would bet that its probably halfway up the country by now, but it wont be found till its looked for and now they will start looking for it,,

The exclusion zone with regards to movement of timber etc has now been expanded almost right up to my doorstep near Ashburton !!https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1033190/Demarcated_Area_Nov2021.pdf

I thought Cornwall wanted to be a separate country anyway? Time for action, close the borders!

I dont think so ? as i spent some time on Thursday with one of the main FC guys for that area and this disease was disgust and i am sure if it had been found in Cumbria he would of said so as the more people that know about it in a area the better the chances of it being found are ? Can you say when it was found in Cumbria ? as it could of been found on Friday ? The FC have been out looking for it in Wales but nothing found as yet, Something else thats come from the big Green house again ! when we have no trees left we might learn, ??

There is plant health movement notice over a large part of Cumbria because the disease has unfortunately been located in the area but don’t where … definitely a restriction on the movement though of Hemlock, Douglas Fir, Pine and Tanoak (didn’t know there was any in Cumbria).

FFS we are going to have no trees left at this rate, i know there is 480 hectares of infected Larch coming down in the lakes, and when i spoke to our FC guy on Thursday he mentioned about the out break in Devon and Cornwall having movement orders on Hemlock n DF, i will ring him in the morn and find out,
