The threat of Ash dieback looms large for many woodlands and landscapes across the UK, including right here in North Devon. But at Tree Control, we're committed to helping homeowners and landowners tackle this devastating disease head-on.

Recently, our team spent a productive day on the outskirts of Barnstaple, assisting a client with the safe and responsible removal of several mature Ash trees suffering from dieback. These majestic giants, once vibrant features of the local landscape, had unfortunately succumbed to the fungal infection, posing a potential hazard to surrounding property and infrastructure.

Equipped with our state-of-the-art machinery, our skilled local Tree Surgeons efficiently and meticulously dismantled the affected trees, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Working with precision and care, we sectioned the timber for future use, giving these fallen trees a second life as sustainable firewood or wood products.

Ash Dieback: Early Detection is Key

Ash dieback, caused by the Hymenoscyphus fraxineus fungus, continues to cast a shadow over the future of this once common species. Symptoms to watch out for include leaf loss, crown dieback, and the presence of dead twigs and branches. If you suspect your Ash trees might be infected, it's crucial to seek professional advice without delay.

Get ready for cozy nights by the fire next winter with sustainably sourced firewood from Tree Control, North Devon's leading tree surgeons. We're excited to announce the arrival of our latest batch of locally sourced Ash, expertly processed and ready to warm your homes.

Local Timber, Sustainable Practices:

At Tree Control, we're committed to responsible forestry practices. All our firewood comes from trees felled as part of our regular tree surgeon services in North Devon. This ensures we're utilizing every part of the tree and minimizing waste. The Ash we're currently processing comes from carefully managed local woodlands, promoting healthy and sustainable tree populations in the region.

Warmth with a Clear Conscience:

Choosing Tree Control's firewood means you can enjoy the crackle of a winter fire knowing you're doing your part for the environment. We source our timber responsibly and process it using eco-friendly methods, minimizing our carbon footprint. So, snuggle up with a good book and a cup of your favourite hot toddy, knowing your firewood is ethically sourced and contributing to a greener North Devon.

It was another day of Ash Dieback work for Xtremetrees, here we are removing a few large limbs that were posing a threat to the property.

Ash dieback is a widespread disease but particulary bad in the Southwest. The disease is caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus which causes leaf loss and crown dieback in affected trees and can lead to the death of the tree.
