Keep an eye out for our oak trees .

[Cuchilo]

This morning someone from the forestry commission asked to be let into the allotments to check on the old oak tree that is there . It turns out that there is a moth that is killing them off
Apparently someone imported some trees from Italy and brought the little critters with them . The infestation started in Croydon so its mainly in the south that they are going around and checking the oaks .
Signs to look out for are webs in the tree . White webs in the summer and brown in the winter .
Every pair of eyes helps

I'll bet it's that pesky October.

He he , looks like the predictive spell checker decided there was a worse problem to deal with

Trees, looking out for them - isn't that one for our mucky urchin MTB'ers, they seem to crash into static trees quite often ! Of course the tree jumped in your way

What with Ash & Birch, with an infection, will we have any trees left?
