We were told on the Today programme a few weeks ago that there was nothing to worry about as this disease does not attack oaks but rhododendrons.

 

For those interested,it now appears somewhat different :- http://www.forestry.gov.uk/newsrele.nsf/allbyunid/3caea27f85b9b10c80256e2e0044c5cd 

 

But everything will be ok.

 

1. Defra and the Forestry Commission are considering, with local partner organisations, what further measures would assist in the containment of the disease, drawing on the best available scientific information.

 

Mmmmmmm.
