Bleeding Canker Spread to be Slowed?
I am not a huge follower of trees, but I do like them – they give us shade, fruit and nuts, and make the scenery a joy to look at. This tree disease, bleeding canker, is spreading quickly; in 2007, over 50% of the horse chestnut trees showed symptoms of it. I believe that a human life is more important than that of an animal or plant, however, if 50% of anything was at risk, I would expect our environment authorities to be telling us more about it and how to help the situation.
But I’ve had no leaflets through the door, no mass emails advising me of the problem, and only really stumbled across it by chance because my Grandad is a avid gardener.
In light of the recent political debate, maybe the Green Party should be given more attention – they have some good policies.
