How to identify Ash Dieback

In this film, internationally acomplished wildlfie filmaker Katie Vickers introduces us to the Lead Forester at Wye Coppice, Joe Weaver. Joe has been a professional forester and woodland manager since 2009 and is an expert on Ash Dieback. He shows us the key early indicators to look for to identify diseased trees as well as critical safety tips for felling them. www.wyecoppice.co.uk

Very interesting. I would’ve just assumed they just grow that way at the base. Now I’ll know the signs when I am around woodland settings.

Very important research, need many more videos like this if on many environments.

Thanks and yes we agree!

Thanks again for your comment. We wanted to let you know that we are in the process of making a film about Curreya pithyophila, a fungus affecting Scots pine in Scotland. This is being done together with Forest Research. Let us know if there are particular tree diseases or specific woodland environments that you'd like us to make a film about and we'll endeavor to do so.

Thanks for the insight

Glad it was helpful!

For anyone else trying to work out what the dude was banging on about whilst holding twigs: "adjective: epicormic (of a shoot or branch) growing from a previously dormant bud on the trunk or a limb of a tree."

Thanks for sharing. Does it affect all Ash? Or does it affect the native population equally to imported ones from the continent?

Hi! Check the description for the forester's details, specific or technical details are best sent their way. We work with really talented individuals but don't always have all their knowledge! Hope you get the answer you are looking for and thanks for the comments. Or maybe another community member knows the answer!

Nature has it out for ash trees, if it's not emerald ash borer, it's fungi.

Treating the trees from the great ash dieback is as simple as treating the affected area with a weak solution of lye ( caustic soda). But no the forrestry commission won't do that because thats too f-ing simple.
