Bleeding canker cure

[Asplen]

I did get in touch with JCA asking for further information than what the promo-leaflet gives you [Leaflet invites you to do so] and if the science papers were available to view to see what methodolgy they applied to their tests.

 

Got a sentence response back with an attached promo-leaflet...

A New Cure for Horse Chestnut Bleeding Canker

 

Good link Tim.

If it has shown signs of working why are we not trying it out on our street trees?

It's great how tree care is reaching new hights.

Interestingly, I was looking at a couple of HC's in amongst wild garlic recently and they appeared to be in good condition. I will go back and have a better look around the area.

 

Maybe Peter Kay was right after all.

Would be interested to hear and possibly see an update.

How much wild garlic in the vicinity? etc..........

This is the stuff we should be using, I tried to get it on the chem list over here, shame I can't spare the 10k plus it takes, they use it right around the world, but we aren't allowed to use it here! Agri-Fos Fungicide

 

If you do a google on Agrifos you'll see loads about this product and the treatment of various cankers...........

I recently spoke to a fruit tree expert who uses garlic to control P&D - the answer has been staring us in the face all along!!

WARNING.........

 

do not use garlic based products for Veteran Tree conditions, it will make our furry little flying friends very, very agitated.

I couldn't be more sceptical about this. It has all the hallmarks of psuedoscience.
