Pest and Disease

The past decade has seen an emergence of several new pest and disease attacking our trees.

Theses have the potential to become epidemics that could cause huge losses to the UK tree stock in our towns, cities, gardens and countryside. These diseases are now present within the UK and we have to accept that it is extremely unlikely that they can be eradicated.

Some of the most recently reported pests and diseases affecting our trees are:

Ash Tree Dieback

Horse Chestnut bleeding canker

Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner

Massaria disease of Plane trees

Asian Long Horn Beetle

Oak Processionary Mouth (OPM)
