Oak tree.

'Mighty oaks from little acorns grow' ...

Sounds similar to me. Who did write that?

I found this link ...

We have a serious lack of Acorns this year Kat hardly any to be found take care of your little tree , we have a disease killing Ash trees as well it's all very worrying ......

TT@I see, it is idiom. I thought it was poetry :)
Amy@I didn´t hear anything like that here. What sort of disease is it? But I am worried more about my elm trees.

The disease is called .. Chalara .. Kat or Ash dieback ... you can google it ,apparently the spores originally came from mainland Europe , it's mainly affecting saplings but is serious enough to make the experts think we could lose all our Ash trees . Our Elms have long since gone the hedge rows are full off dead trunks I have a small one in my garden which is a sucker from a tree that died but I've been told it won't grow into a fuly mature tree :o(

It sounds like it afflicts only ash trees, Amy. But I noticed similar dieback on my rhododendrons, Amy. I had exemplars 2-10 years old and they died in a year, all in a similar way as it was shown on the photo. Nothing helped. I cut the diseased branches, sprayed it with fungicides, improved fertlisation, exchanged soil. Nothing helped.

I haven't heard of it affecting Rhododendrons Kat but if I do hear anything I'll be sure to let you know !

Thank you, bt I already discussed it with some experts on GoY (QandA). Unfortunately, there is no cure.

:o( .......

yes a lovely tree Kat
