We have a public footpath at the side of the house, so don't want to lose their shelter from that. I'm hoping the doom and gloom of the past few weeks doesn't become the reality like we had for our elm trees in the 70s.<br /><br />Lucy - I'm very surprised too. After Leaf miner moth/bleeding canker in horse chestnuts and the culls owing to sudden oak death, you'd think we'd have been much more prepared for this, especially as it's been a known disease marching ever closer for a number of years now.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-60639463861463718282012-10-30T17:17:14.385+00:002012-10-30T17:17:14.385+00:00It's bizarre, how slow the response to this ha...It's bizarre, how slow the response to this has been.

We live in a hollow and it provides a great privacy screen, sheltering us from the neighbours above. I would not even begrudge the pesky squirrels one of their favourite playgrounds,should it continue to flourish. I have a sinking feeling about the fate of our ashes but let's hope for the best.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-11313518520895107622012-10-29T20:37:37.858+00:002012-10-29T20:37:37.858+00:00EG - me too.

Let's hope it is not too late to save the trees but I am not optimistic - it is rare for some pest, plant or disease not to spread once it has gained a toehold. easygardenerhttp://greenforks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-57299907246874559362012-10-29T14:22:17.197+00:002012-10-29T14:22:17.197+00:00Petoskystone - no, he was more concerned with poli...Petoskystone - no, he was more concerned with polishing off his breakfast.
