What is ash dieback and why does it need to be taken seriously?
Ash dieback is a serious disease that weakens ash trees and can lead to brittle branches, canopy decline and structural failure. Once affected trees begin to deteriorate, the risk to roads, boundaries, utility lines and public spaces rises quickly.
Foliage and leaves
- Dark patches
- Premature browning
- Hanging dead leaves
Branches and stems
- Crown thinning
- Diamond-shaped lesions
- Internal staining
Trunk and bark
- Epicormic growth
- Cankers
- Structural weakness
Why it matters
Diseased ash can shed limbs unexpectedly and create serious risk to public roads, entrances, neighbouring property, parked vehicles and overhead utilities. If you are concerned about ash dieback on your land, early action is the safest approach.
