Ash Die Back

More details here

Ash dieback is caused by a fungus that originated in Asia. It doesn’t affect ash trees native to the region, but has had a devastating effect on European ash, which is found in the UK.

The fungus produces small fruiting bodies between July and October. The spores can blow many miles away, which is what makes it so difficult to control. Once it’s landed, the fungus grows inside the tree and blocks its water systems, causing the tree to die.
