sudden death of a birch....

Gerrit, congrats on your 1000th post!

Where in the Netherlands are you, my parents farm near Klazienaveen, Drenthe and have endless birches that refuse to die even with highly fluctuating watertables etc.

Seeing a few dotted around; dead ! I cant help thinking the nice 'clean" suburban garden environment in which I see them standing is only a bad thing for the trees in that it can be good for Armillaria spp....?

Rover,

Thanks, I just noticed it myself so this will be 1002. And I'm a native Achterhoeker living in Berkelland.

Nice bit of NL to live in, right side of the country. I tried once but I could never live on the other side of the ijssel . Half my family is from Losser, not that far from you if I remember correctly. And on the off-chance, do you know Jenneke Westrik, she works with SBB near Ootmarssum.

No, I don't, although I do sometimes work with/for SBB in the Achterhoek and Twente region.
