      Yay, finally some really Good News. Thank you for sharing. You made my day.

      Isn’t this what you’d expect to happen? It’s typical of doom-mongerers to kick up a massive panic. Do you recall lockdown was going to be needed forever and the normal world had ended.

      This is great news.

      Unfortunately my ash has died which is a shame because the birds love it (well, still do as it’s a good tall perch compared to everything around) so nice to hear I’ll hopefully be able to safely replace it properly in a couple of years.

      Unironically fucking awesome. Ash dieback is absolutely brutal to our population, any progress against it is worth celebrating

      Yeah, I’ve been hoping this. There are young ash trees growing up near me that don’t seem affected. Touch wood!..

      Great news.

      In something slightly related, my neighbour keeps ripping up the ash tree that is growing on our boundary. Every year it pokes through. Every year he rips it up, and last year he even dug down several feet to remove things to stop it happening again. But this year it is back again.

      Seems like they are generally stubborn bastards to get rid of.

      Great news! I literally just learned about Ash Dieback in my Countryside Management course.

      This is great news and something I’ve been involved in. I managed a woodland and our policy for a few years now has been to remove dangerous trees that could cause harm by falling and allow diseased Ash to try and fight dieback.

      We’ve noticed young saplings and even mature trees starting to recover, and not have that common half dead appearance.
