It was so nice of Wizzard to stop by and tell us about the many benefits of NORDVPN. Get 4 months extra on a 2 year plan and remember there's a 30 day guarrantee ➼

Kew gardens Pioneered a method of aerating the earth beneath their trees to aleviate the effects of soil compaction. The technique was developed after it was noticed that a poorly tree began to thrive after it was almost toppled during the Great Storm of 1987 - the entire root plate had been lifted and dropped back down! If the tree is already weakened then perhaps an application of subterranean decompaction would help alleviate some stress to help it mitigate the effect of age and disease. Perhaps make an enquiry of the Arboretum team there?

This is a worldwide problem. In New Zealand, the ancient Kauri trees

This is horribly saddening, oaks in England already struggle, they need help, they are so important and one of the last bits of ancient English culture, there are such a large part of what the isles are, it would be extremely sad to loose, ash, elms and oaks due to disease so quickly, I sincerely hope they manage to pull through, but I am also scared since part of the management of ash dieback included chopping down extremely old trees, sure it was for the better but it lead to the death of extremely old trees, and I so deeply hate that it's so outside of our control, hopefully we find a way to protect them from the bacteria, however I have hope since old oaks have usually survived terrible diseases and have pulled through, they are left hollow and broken but alive, hopefully they can survive also this one

Honestly, the growing list of new tree diseases frightens me, considering the low diversity of tree species we have in Europe (compared to other continents).

@Aramarth

I'm currently writing my bachelor thesis about sulphur-fertilization for oaks, so they become more resilient against all kinds of stressors. One of the stressors the institute performs test on is phytophthora and it is good to see that there are so many people will be invested in this topic! Carry on this work!

Nothing is immune from globalism' toxicity.

This magnificent tree is still teaching us lessons after 500 years!

Love Wizzard!

As an amateur mycologist im suspecting our distinct lack of agarikon fungal species that are key combatants of viral diseases in Europe has a large part to play in the desolation of our old-growth forests, Paul Staments points out that in the United States, there are far more species of agarikon fungus in their old-growth mycorrhizal biome and they are known to combat many different variants of infectious viruses. I wonder if we could inoculate large swathes of our old-growth forests with these protective fungal species. Agarikon was known to grow in Europe and the uk offering protection against viruses that they no longer posses however a complex combination of factors has led to near extinction of this ancient and essential fungus.

Nobody ever logged out my grandpas property in Montgomery creek ca there’s still full grown pacific yews redwoods and California black oaks the amount of endangered flowers and other plants at his property is unbelievable oaks this size are all over the place hidden in a valley on his 52 acres from 299 to woodhill he’s got untouched land. Grew up the last 5 years of my childhood there big change from Tucson Arizona. To say the least what I get to visit whenever I want is priceless

@northernembersoutdoors1045

I have a big oak tree near where I live.

best Nord VPN promotion I've ever seen !

@MerryMoss

This is incredibly interesting

@melissaharris3389

I'm from Ontario, Canada, and when I visited England, I went to Kew Gardens and saw this magnificent oak. It's the largest tree I've ever seen myself. Maybe one day I'll go out west and see the towering red woods of the Pacific North West. Until then, I'm sure I'll never see another tree quite as large and magnificent.

@claire2088

There's just something about Oaks that gives them a real character and personality, I can't think of any other tree that I feel quite the same way about
