The most tree in the UK and has all kinds of uses. WTF can be planted to replace it?


Global warming, so palm trees and other tropical specimens.

Hmm.. Bamboo in our garden currently reaches over 10'.

When the Elms died there were newspaper stories of someone cycling around southern England planting Black Poplar cuttings!

They should take away the trees and put them in a tree museum.

plenty of young elms around here. They just never grow up.

One hard winter to kill the beetles and they will come back.

Interesting to note that the ash problem comes from illegal immigrants and unrestricted movement of goods ;-)

I believe there is a resistant Ash tree in Japan. There seems to be some reluctance to replace European one's with a "foreign" tree though.

They are working on a cure for this. I'm sure they had an item on it in a regional news item about two weeks ago?? Brian

Most people don't know what an ash looks like, or give a toss whether they grow here or not. Just a tree ennit?

It's a new form of 'better dead than red'.

Speak for yourself townie.

Which part of "most people" did you not understand? I myself like walk in the woods most days and mostly know what's what

Then they would charge the people one pound and six pence just to see 'em ... ;-(

We've got a "Tree Centre", but it still looks like a park to me.....

Not the only thing, then.
