    Hi Alex, Thanks for your interest, you sound ideal but I really need someone who has the right driving licence as I operate 2 landrovers, due to some of my work being on farm estates. If I have mis-understood you and you do have a cat B+E licence please call on the number above. Steve

    Thanks for that. I am a qualified Deer Manager and it isn't Deer damage, There are no resident Fallow in our area just muntjac. They would have browsed a lot of the other trees too and none are damaged. The trees were also fitted with 5 foot plastic mesh type tree guards. I took some pics today for your perusal. I have heard today of a case of watermark virus less than half a mile upwind. I still think it could be a disease. Steve

    I will get some pics tomorrow,It seems to be too much damage on too many trees to me for squirrels.

    Hi, I am after some advice on a possible disease on some Cricket Bat Willows that I have recently started looking after. The trees are approximately 8 years old and are currently 6-8m tall. They were all planted for the eventual harvest and production of cricket bats. In the top third of the tree is a substantial amount of loose and missing bark. This I have been assured by landowners is squirrel damage. Whilst this seems a reasonable explanation, it would appear to have affected a lot of the (CBW) trees in the area. If this is true why have surrounding Beech, Oak and Sycamore trees not been damaged in a similar way? I suspect that this could be watermark disease as there have been cases in our area before. I have some info on diagnostic testing but do not want to fell a tree if this could be just squirrel damage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks Steve
