Ash trees holding their leaves well into Summer 2023
One of the key factors of Ash Dieback is the sudden drooping of the frilly Ash leaves in late summer. Using responsible drone shots above the trees we see:
Ash leaves in August 2023
After a dry June and wet July full Ash leaf in the upper canopy
Flourishing Ash trees in August 2023
Ash leaves in full leaf 10 meters up in the canopy.. no sign of Ash Dieback drooping leaves
From 50m up all that life in the Ash
See the felled Ash leave a scar in the woods filling with nettles and brambles
This hasn’t happened for yet another year on many of the Ash in BAW. They suffer but fight back living on.
