    Yes it diid, was coppiced in 2011, vigorous regen as you'd expect and first showed signs June 2014 and succumbed sometime in the last year. Lots of saplings leaves around here have wilted leaves and lesions now. It's about 10 miles south east of Ashwellthorpe wood and in coniferised adjacent to a plantation that was planted up in 2003 with Dutch imported stock, of which about 20% ash which is mostly dead. Many were showing advanced signs of dieback in 2013 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Found this polyporos squamous on an ash coppice stop that has died due to ash dieback, not a clue on the weeuns beneath it though Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Ribbed not robbed! I may live in a caravan but I'm not a thief[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    No worries! The robbed pipe I'm on about is the stuff they bury when filling ditches/doing culverts not the flexi water pipe, alkethene water pipe (blue stuff) would work for the joiner and won't melt (we used it for the connectors on geodesic dome and had to put it in boiling oil to flatten it so should cope with steam no prob[emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Yes put a tunnel over a baited trap, preferably on a horizontal trunk in a more open area of wood as they favour these areas for ground foraging and love charging around chasing one another along these low 'bridges' . You can also strap a box to a tree with a Fenn trap in it (a la Kania) but I haven't had as much success (lots of mice though[emoji15], and wire it round trunk as the squirrel do chew through baler twine etc) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Yes they are ****, I borrowed 3 off an estate I do work for (they caught none in 18months) I caught 1 in a year. Fenn traps are the best, but I only had success with them after a few pointers from an old boy called Jigger who contributes to Red Squirrel magazine and does squirrel control on Sotterley Estate in Suffolk, he trapped and shot well over 1000 in his first year there, on about 200acres of wood, and you'd be hard pressed to spot one there now!

    An old tea urn or similar works well, with a pipe 3 or 4 " (depending on how big you want t go) from the lid to a chamber (that thick, ribbed 12" land drain pipe is good for the chamber chamber) at a slight angle with a small drain hole underneath at bottom to drain excess water and a small hole at top to stop it pressurising if you got a good seal on the system. I can't see why you couldn't steam bone oak (I presume you mean bits like off 'stag head' oaks?) would just take a lot longer to become pliable. Last time I did it was yes ago so no pics I'm afraid Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    It's rife everywhere in EA, I've really noticed ashs decline over the last couple of years particularly when felling in coppice (where ash crowns used t bounce nicely when they hit the deck they now shatter) and starting to see more bramble etc under what were denser canopies due t thinning crowns. In my own wood I was relying on its seed for vigorous natural regen when I remove conifers but 99% of the seedling die within 3yrs[emoji45] Norfolk CC have just taken on a friend of mine as part of an "ash dieback team" they've set up to survey/tackle the 'situation' Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
