Up with the larch

Here's a article from the Amateur Gardening Magazine about a disease attacking Larch.

"Killer disease Phytophthora ramorum has been found on European Larch for the first time. It has already lead to the early felling of two million UK Japanese Larch trees.

Now it has spread to European Larch [Larix Deciduas] in Cornwall - an area with infected Japanese Larch trees growing nearby. Forestry Commision operations manager Ben Jones said "Although it's bad new this lethal pathogen has infected another species, it is not unexpected, given the physiological similarities between European and Japanese Larch"

P. ramorum was first identified in the UK in a Viburnum plant propagated at a West Sussex Nursery in 2001. Until recently, it had mostly affected Camellia, Viburnum and Rhododendrons. Mortality in Japanese Larch trees has been rapid."

I'm searching hard for some good news
