The ones around here seem to be dying as opposed to just loosing their
leaves for Autumn - has anyone else noticed ?

They are currently under attack from a beetle and a virus I believe. I
hope they don't go the same way as the elms.

There's a lot of them in this part of the country and most are looking
very poorly.

A number down here were loosing their leaves in August, I thought
perhaps they'd been fooled by the cool wet weather, but some are
virtually bare now.

On the positive side I've got an elm in the back garden, around 18'
now, and still healthy.

Was out 'conkering' with the kids yesterday and the trees that I saw
here appeared OK. Would hate to loose them.....

We noticed several in our area which are failing (Central Scotland) - not all on
same piece of land.

Well I've noticed how early they seem to have turned: however it's
rather worrying if the 'old conker trees' are under threat.
The only good trhing to come out of this that AGW is'nt the cause. Or
is it?

Most of the trees are affected by the Horse Chestnut leaf miner,
Camereraria ohridella. This was first observed in Wimbledon in 2002 having
spread across Europe from Macedonia since the late 1970s. It had been found
in Wales and North Norfolk but is most common in the SE. It is unsightly
but does not threaten the trees survival unlike bleeding canker.
