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

In Merton (another first for the Borough - here's where Cameraria ohridea was 
first found in the U.K.! - swells with pride) it is on many but not all HCs. 
It can be all over one and very little on an adjacent tree. No apparent 
connection with other problems - i.e. does not appear to be worse on stressed 
trees. The one thing I have noted is the intensity on lower crowns over 
tarmac, footways , etc, rather than grass - is perhaps a greater amount of 
radiated/reflected heat benefitting the insect?
