TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL

Most HCs are pretty well smothered down here, particularly the lower
crown, with the first signs of leaf damage appearing at the beginning of
June - the earliest I have ever seen it. Concern will be the reduced
photosynthetic capacity for the remaining three months of summer and the
implications for energy storage?
Bleeding Canker is widespread too, but some trees seem to be resistant
adjacent to trees with all the symptoms.

We seem to have a heavy infestation in the Lewes District Area (Sussex)
- the first sightings were only two years ago and now it seems to be on
every HC is see! What's it like elsewhere and what is the prognosis for
Horse Chestnut in the light of Bleeding Canker (also prolific
hereabouts)?
