Is there any reasearch being done for vacines and cures for ash die back? The government should be pouring money into it.

Regarding planting new trees. What is the plan to look after the newly planted trees until they are established? I have observed newly planted trees dying alongside new roads like the Stubbington bypass.

Wouldnt it be better to leave them until they're critically unsafe? They provide food for insects, birds, mosses and fungi. Is it another excuse to make money from the timber. Alot of the elm felled went to waste and is in carpenters yards rotten away. What about beaudeax mix? Has that been tried or has the the council bothered trying it.

There are many Ash dieback research projects taking place across the UK by Defra scientists, Forest Research, universities, and many other organisations. At present there is no known cure for ash dieback. Due to the nature of the disease, it is not always possible to leave infected trees standing. Many of the trees are weakened by the disease which allows other secondary pathogens to attack, this means trees can fail via the roots or lose large branches before the trees are completely dead. Bordeaux mixture along with other fungicides are being looked at by scientists across Europe as a potential treatment, but at present no viable option has been found.
