Symptoms & What To DO
Ash Dieback Manchester
What Is Ash Dieback?
Ash dieback is a disease of ash trees which kills trees and threatens species which rely on ash. Ash dieback disease is caused by the Asian fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus which causes leaf loss. Europe’s ash species has evolved differently with fungus compared to Asia and therefore cannot defend itself against it.
What Happens To A Tree With Ash Dieback?
The fungus of ash dieback disease is found on ash leaf stalks and produces fruiting bodies which is released into the atmosphere, travelling tens of miles in the wind and eventually landing on leaves, penetrating it so that fungus grows inside the tree.
Ash Dieback Symptoms

Blackening and wilting of leaves in mid-late summer
Changing Colour
In autumn months it can be easy to mistake the change of colour in the leaves for symptoms of ash dieback
Targets Young Trees

Brown-grey colour of bark underneath the lesions
On Twigs, Branches Or Trunk
Sometimes the infection can spread into the twigs, branches and the trunk. Lesions are found on the bark, shaped like a diamond between branches, or where branches meet the trunk
Cuts Off Fluid
These lesions are problematic because they cut off the supply of fluid and nutrients provided by the roots to the tree
What To Do If Your Tree Has Ash Dieback?
There is currently no cure for ash dieback. Trees are unlikely to recover if more than half of its canopy is affected by ash dieback and will be unable to fight back against other diseases.
