Chalara - confirmed sites ?

[nepia]

I read it as tongue in cheek, the 'emergency' being felt by the caller. Hope I'm right; you're quite right to want clarification of course.

It's bad enough with press reports implicating other members of the olive family (with no evidence whatsoever) without other families being brought into the discussion...

 

I presume the post was referring to people with mountain ashes assuming that their trees had Chalara due to the leaves changing colour and dropping off.

I had a long conversation over the phone with a chap who was convinced his tree had the disease he had heard about. Then at the end he chirps up "the berries are unaffected though".

 

Goodbye.

Twin stemmed Ash, 70ft tall, deep diamond shaped lesions right up the stem.

Apparently foliage was sparse last few years.

 

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

 

Are the lesions at branch unions or sporadically over the surface of the trunk bark?

There were some calls into the local radio Gardening programme too about Mountain Ash getting Chalara. Obviously a total misunderstanding on behalf of the callers, and the garden expert put them straight, but I guess it's to be expected that Joe Public will get a little confused.

can you get any photos on a camera phone or the such like? its a lot easier to discount it with photos rather than a verbal description

Up the stem and limbs and onto the thick branches.

Sorry I forgot to put them on.

Damn. Not working from my phone. I'll try later.

Hopefully these help.
