I'm led to believe that a sharp cold spell like this of the minuses we are having will halt the spread.
Perhaps if the damned climate change lot had lept their mouths shut and not imported trees from warmer climes we would not be in this mess to begin with. However we know that they will never accept they they ARE the problem.
can i ask when / if ash die back hits the farm can the felled logs be removed for home fires ? or will it have to be burn on the spot .
Mrmickey explain, from what I gather, this fungus originates in the warmer areas of the east, with lower growing costs, trees were then exported to Europe where the fungus was carried on the wind to the UK or via a peace of timber in a similar way to which Dutch elm was carried to the uk after the WW1.
Good question.
I guess there might be some movement restriction in place as the fungal infection will remain 'alive' for some time after the tree has been felled; as such log (firewood) movement could pose a threat !

I have a theory,
to stop fungus you use a sulpher wash, since they removed sulpher from road fuel, the brambles have died back, has it allowed the fungus to get a hold?
