Wow. This is (a) super interesting in itself, and (b) good news for our ash trees. I've seen so many dying ash trees in my part of England, it breaks my heart. This is very encouraging news and congrats to the people at Kew Gardens and at Queen Mary, good work. Also a really well-written piece, hat tip to author #NatashaWard.

An excellent article today.
I am still seeing ash trees with beautiful canopies.

Not perfect but this canopy of ash is still looking reasonably healthy. These plants are growing in very crowded conditions alongside field maple.
I just wonder whether there is tomato and basil effect.
Now the session on @MEMBRA_Trees@birdsite project, #epigenetic #memory of disease stress in #trees. In this case, #AshDieback.

In remembrance of times past. An appeal film I made about the Ash tree. 😢
