--Apple-Mail-3-607827689 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed A few years ago (earlier than 2010?) there was a severe crown dieback in white ashes in Habitant, east of Canning, King's County, but I don't recall whether the cause was discovered. Nancy Nickerson, I think I reported it to you, but I don't recall what you may have responded? Below is a link to an article on this I found on the Care2 Causes Web site: http://www.care2.com/causes/100000-ash-trees-killed-by-fungus-in- uk.html#ixzz2Bl3zvhXE found on Care2 Causes Web site: 100,000 Ash Trees Killed By Fungus In UK by Judy Molland November 8, 2012 [One paragraph in the above article is on the Mountain Pine Beetle devastation of pines in western U.S. & Canada, but this example is not relevant here because the M.P. Beetle is a native insect there, and its abundance through its range is a climate-change phenomenon coupled with forest and fire management strategies that produced too many susceptible trees etc.][JW]] Cheers from Jim in central B.C., where recovery from MPBs will take a long, long time. ------------------------ Begin forwarded message: > From: desolatechair@gmail.com > Date: November 10, 2012 10:59:20 AM AST > To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > Subject: Re: [NatureNS] ash dieback fungus > Reply-To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > > Hi Nancy > > In July 2010 several dozen White Ash (Fraxinus americana) in my > Hantsport neighbourhood suffered a severe die back of top canopy. > They appear to have recovered although the affected branches etc. > appear to be dead. > > I don't think the cause was ever diagnosed.
