South Norfolk. Unfortunately they are nearby to both mature Ash and several stands of young Ash.

 

Bio security wise, I must admit, no. However, according to what I read last week, the idea that spores crossed the channel by wind is being given more weight, so realistically and without being apathetic, there is little effect I could have, to the best of my knowledge. I haven't taken any action on these handle of saplings yet, as I'm waiting for a reply from FR.

 

The first photo was taken next to a major a road, so any kind of spore has easy passage, wind blown or not.

Cheers Dan,

 

Appreciate the feedback.

 

the bio security issue is about awareness of what we might spread rather than how far it spreads naturally.

 

Say for instance that you were going to a trade show in the west of the country or some friends in the south west where there currently is a scatting of infection sites, it is feasible that spore (in contaminated soil or plant material) could be going on that journey with you.

 

The south west and the stretch running from the south coast up to the midlands is where the FC are trying to slow the infection to buy time to carry out more study in resistance.

 

I'm sure you would be aware of all this, just posting to help raise general awareness of p&d management.

'Looks' like it, but would need to see lesions on the stems where the leaf rachis attaches to be more confident.

 

Have you reported it to the FC Matthew?

Yup reported to FC with samples sent to their lab but wont hear for another week or so. Sadly it is on our doorstep already.
