We have already mentioned here at flower-shows.org that many of the trees in the UK are suffering from diseases that could completely change our landscape for years to come, there have been moulds, moths, bugs and bleeding bark – but there is new evidence that something other than nature itself is destroying the trees.

There is new research from Europe that suggests that it is Wi Fi connections and the human need for access to communication that is affecting our trees in urban areas.  This however is not true for the forests.  Here in the UK, the grandest of trees the English Oak is suffering from nature itself due to new bacteria never before seen in tree science.  Astonishingly however, this year it has been noted that there has been an abundance of acorns – nature is very clever ‘from little acorns oak trees grow’ – survival of the species certainly is remarkable.
