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.
