sorry hama think i put my point across wrong:blush: i had this vision of an ash with hispidus in a nursery/kindergarten play area leaning over a fence towards a busy main road (these trees exist i have pics somewhere) the point then being about high risk in heavy branch failure vs whole tree failure, but in this situation does the position of the tree (tis about 45') mean that it becomes a high risk? i think "risk" as a word differs from situation to situation and cannot just be classified as high, low, moderate etc i do agree with you on the natural pollarding being "less" of a risk than tree failure but at what point does this branch failure become to "high" of a risk to save the tree? does that kinda make sense:confused1:
-
mother earth does it again:biggrin:
-
is that pic from recent? has it leafed up at all?
-
unfortunately doesn't it always depend on targets? and thats where the risk is assessed?

the long and short of it was that a LA down south (can't remember which one, one of the sex's) noticed that during the 60's-70's outbreak of DED a few old trees had completely withstood the effects of the disease, al grouped together so the LA and a local Tree surgeon at the time got together and took a load of cuttings off these trees and propagated them in a nursery environment (20 years old now), then they micropropagised those ones and the progeny show signs (at 9 years old) of being highly resistant to DED Only time will tell whether they are fully resistant or not but the signs are looking good and he has grown thousands!
