Just a matter of time for Ash?

[neiln]

Stuff in the media today about the dual threat to Ash here and in Europe from Ash die back and from Emerald Ash Borer beetle. It sounds bleak. I know EAB has marched across the US swiftly and devastatingly. Is it just a matter of time until it happens here?

Also we seem to have our Oaks under threat from Acute Oak Dieback and Sudden Oak Dieback. Are all our mature, native trees under threat?!

I hears about this on Radio 4 Farming Today. Was a sad thing to listen to.
