Of recent there have been reports in the news of a number of emerging tree diseases that have the potential to become epidemics that could cause huge losses to the UK tree stock in our towns, cities, gardens and countryside. These diseases are now present within the UK and we have to accept that it is extremely unlikely that they can be eradicated.
Some of the most recently reported pests and diseases affecting our trees are:
- Ash Tree Dieback
- Horse Chestnut bleeding canker
- Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner
- Massaria disease of Plane trees
- Asian Long Horn Beetle
Our management team are constantly kept abreast of tree pest and disease developments through attendance at Arboricultural Association and other professional seminars.
If you do have any concerns relating to your trees, then please contact us on 0800 975 4535 and we will be happy to provide you with the best advice for your trees.
