Our Ash.

What is happening to our Ash Trees. They are falling ill with such speed. Its not Ash Dieback!, At first it seemed like Antracnose, a fungal disease that strikes them often now. However this time it seems to be killing them, so many look thin, defoliated, they are a light sickly green and many, many of them seem to be dying now, including old trees that looked healthy just last year.
Please go out into the country, drive slowly and look out for them. Sadly their present state will show itself almost immediately. Its incredible that so few seem to notice this; the death of our old green companions!
