What is Ash Dieback?
Ash dieback, caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, is a serious disease that affects Ash trees, leading to leaf loss, crown dieback, and ultimately, the death of the tree.
This disease has spread rapidly across Europe and has significant ecological and economic impacts. Early identification and professional intervention are crucial in managing Ash dieback effectively.
Ash Dieback Signs
Leaves may start to develop dark patches, wilt or turn brown or black.
The bark of twigs and shoots may appear darker, sometimes with a purple tinge.
In areas where older branches meet the trunk or stem, diamond-shape lesions may appear.
Branches may begin to die.
Shoots and twigs may die near the crown of the tree.

Our Ash Dieback Services
Professional Assessment: Our experienced arborists begin with a thorough assessment of your Ash trees to determine the extent of infection and overall tree health. This initial evaluation is critical in planning the appropriate treatment strategy as we identify the disease, the spread of the disease and the risk it poses to you. Ash trees contaminated with Ash dieback can be potentially dangerous as they become unstable over time. Assessing what stage the disease has reached will help inform our Ash dieback treatment strategy.
Tree Removal and Replacement: In cases where the disease has progressed beyond the point of effective treatment, we offer professional tree removal services to prevent the spread of Ash dieback to other healthy trees. From mechanical dismantling to manual dismantling or tree felling, our experienced arborists will select the best treatment plan for your Ash tree. We also provide guidance on suitable replacement planting to maintain the ecological balance of your landscape.
Ash Dieback Tree Services FAQs
Can trees recover from ash dieback?
Trees can potentially recover from Ash dieback, but it depends on factors like the tree's age, overall health, and the severity of the infection. While many trees ultimately succumb to the disease, some Ash trees have shown resistance or the ability to fight off milder infections, particularly if they receive proper care and management.
What are the first signs of ash dieback?
The first signs of ash dieback typically include blackened, wilted leaves and dark brown or black discolouration on stems and branches. As the disease progresses, trees may exhibit crown dieback, where branches in the upper part of the tree begin to die, and diamond-shaped lesions may appear on the bark.
How do you treat ash dieback in the UK?
Although there is no cure for Ash dieback, treatment can help manage the spread of the disease, slowing the spread of the disease. This typically involves removing severely infected trees, pruning affected branches, improving tree health through proper case and implementing biosecurity measures to prevent any further spread.
