Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a fungus which originated in Asia. Its introduction to Europe about 30 years ago has devastated the European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) because our native ash species did not evolve with the fungus and this means it has no natural defence against it.
A Serious Health & Safety Issue
Ash dieback causes the loss of the leaf canopy and places trees under stress. This can make them more vulnerable to other diseases and decay fungus. It is often fungus and other diseases in combination with ash dieback that will cause the death of more mature trees.
More importantly, from a health and safety perspective, ash dieback leaves trees brittle and unstable causing sudden branch failures. It is important therefore to focus on identifying ash trees with the disease that are near roads or public rights of way.
Dead and diseased ash trees pose a real risk to human safety with council and other public bodies now moving to take action before it is too late.
Owner of trees have a duty of care and a responsibility for the health and risk that the trees pose.
