Ash dieback, which was first seen in the UK in 2012, causes leaf loss and crown dieback and can lead to tree death, with fears it could wipe out up to 85% of Britain’s native ash trees, as they ...

Britain's trees are evolving resistance to the deadly ash dieback fungus, scientists have revealed. The disease has wrought havoc on the countryside, leaving behind the remains of dying ash trees.

Ash dieback is caused by a fungus (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) native to Asia that slowly destroys trees’ ability to transport water. It began spreading in Europe in the 1990s and reached the UK in ...
