Ash trees are fighting back against a disease that has ravaged the British countryside, new scientific evidence shows. When ...

Ash dieback, caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, arrived in Britain in 2012, prompting an emergency COBRA meeting. The disease has since wrought havoc on the British countryside, leaving ...

Ash dieback is caused by a fungus (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) native to Asia that slowly destroys trees’ ability to transport water. It began spreading in Europe in the 1990s and reached the UK in ...

Previous studies found apparent resistance in some ash saplings, but the new study gives in-depth genetic information that ...

Britain's trees are evolving resistance to the deadly ash dieback fungus, scientists have revealed. The disease has wrought havoc on the countryside, leaving behind the remains of dying ash trees.

When ash dieback first arrived in Britain, in 2012, an emergency COBRA meeting was formed. The disease has since spread rampantly across the countryside, but there is still hope.
