Leaf Minor in Chestnut

[Stephen Blair]

I am 30 miles sw of Glasgow and took down my first infected chestnut 5 years ago and have done at least 20 in the area since. I emailed someone down south back then and never heard back. I only see the FBT mag here or there and have just discovered this forum. Whenever i read about it, it seems there is an idea it is still only effecting trees down south. Am i wrong and missinformed. Hopefully, because i am seeing more and more dying off. Who do i contact?

Are yours not suffering from "bleeding cancer" as apposed to leaf minor??

 

Down south they have both.

It looks like sick/papermashy on the underside of the leaf at first then the bleading canker kicks in after. The bark is falling off the trees before the leafs are off. This year has been the worst. Dodgy cutting and climbing. I find chesy britol enough.
