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

I haven't see any trees affected by Camararia up here yet,

Likewise, hereabouts (W Midlands, E Wales)
I was expecting to see it all over the place this year, having come
across a few affected trees last summer... But so far I've not made any
positive sightings. I was beginning to think that the weather last year
might have knocked the beasties back, but the evidence from all you folk
down in the SE suggests otherwise.
but we have a lot of trees' with pseudomonas aesculi and quite a few of these have copped it and others are looking extremely ropey. The main problem I see with the ropey looking ones is the potential for large limb failures. I would think that the potential for Summer Branch Drop would be increased. Does anyone have any info on this?
In many places round here it can be quite hard to find a chestnut
WITHOUT at least some trace of exudation; but on the other hand, there
are quite a few with old infections that seem to have stabilised;
leaving them looking awful in some cases, but alive. Personally I
wouldn't have thought SBD should be an issue; although failures as a
result of secondary decay could certainly be a problem.
