Stratford Chestnut trees

[wattie]

Hi All

 

Had a nice few days away this week Sunday to Tuesday to Stratford upon Avon with my good lady, and a very nice time was had by us both, lots to see lots of sight seeing and lots to eat. Of course like all us tree guys had to cast my eyes over the tree along the river and chruch yards Etc.

 

Out side the royal shakespeare theatre and to the park at the side which slopes down to the river I noticed two chestnut WITHOUT LEAF MINOR, a first for me at the moment. At first i was thinking that the single tree outside the theatre as it was on it's own away from any other chestnuts that it was not affected by the moth. Then i noticed the second tree which again was the only chestnut in the park which was also clear,

 

So tree surgeons of stratford or anyone to be honest why would these be clear when the whole county seems to be affected

 

i attach a few photos

 

Cheers
