TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city

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

<I would think that the potential for Summer Branch Drop would be
increased. Does anyone have any info on this?>
Summer branch drop is a phenomenon which affects healthy looking, not
diseased trees. SBD is probably more to do Height/Diameter ratio turned
on its side i.e. effecting lateral limbs described as abnormally loaded.
Paul says:
<Bleeding Canker is widespread too, but some trees seem to be resistant
adjacent to trees with all the symptoms.>
Yes I have seen this also, particular example of this is a site known as
the Jubilee Walk in King George V Recreation Ground, Felpham. We are
trying to get grumpy locals interested and involved with seed gathering
from both infected and 'resilient' trees in our attempt to re-populate
the district. Should be an interesting experiment, has anyone tried this
with other species?
