Tom Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Article about Ceratocystis Platani that's infecting the trees along the Canal. According to the article, they have cut infected trees down because the disease is incurable and so virulent.Plane Trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Any bloody reason to kill trees!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekJ Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 That is really sad. We had a holiday on a boat on the Canal du Midi some years before we bought a house in France and the trees are part of our abiding memory of that beautiful place.

pachapapa Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 They featured this on the TV news last week, there was certainly considerable care with the trunks placed on plastic for immediate preparation for en situ burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicandJo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Is this why the trees were felled at Trebes?? The roots were left behind though so I'm not so sure. Anybody know?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 An update on the trees near us.Trebes now has 80 odd new trees and they are laa numbered and a small lable on them states that they are the canker resistant strain, so that is great stuff. Bad bit now. We had a walk along by the triple locks at ecluse de Fresquel and East from the ecluses 35 trees out of 55 have been marked for cutting and have been ring barked with chainsaws. So they will be coming down before the season starts I would think! It's the first time we have seen ring barking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
