There are reports of infections north of us, in Moray, but I haven't heard of it in the immediate vicinity.
 It'll be a nightmare if the losses are as bad as feared.

This site has some useful info: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/chalara

Big problem about the problem getting so much publicity at this time of year is the difficulty of identifying an infection in trees losing or having lost their leaves already.   :-\

Oh crumbs! Yet another lurgy to be vigilant against!
And our Ash trees are only now finally getting some height and breadth!
Our latest curse is Myrtle Rust which has arrived here from South America!http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/forestry/pests-diseases-weeds/diseases/myrtle-rust
