The Ash Dieback Problem

[@QualityControla]

One of those situations where humans should and are intervening is the New Zealand Kauri Dieback, which may be similar to what you guys have over there. We spray hiking boots to stop the spread and have even blocked off tracks to the public to stop the spores spreading to far

[@ThomasYorkshire]

These biology and ecology type videos were very interesting. I'm not sure if you ever get around to reading the comments on these old videos Brady, but if a channel similar to Sixty Symbols or Numberphile would be possible for the subject of biology, I think it could be very successful, and of course interesting.

[@finbarrcorcoran9342]

Becoming a huge and profound problem here in Ireland summer 2022.Covers between 50 and 80% of the landscape in the lowlands.

[@billingscronicsupply]

I just finished the entire tree series. Was so good. Can we expand this to more different regional trees? He talks about, russian tree wines, Italian trees for archery bow making, Canadian Maples, and turkish trees. As an American, with the extent of a public education, I cant tell you how great all of your channels are. I feel like im learning a lot. Thank you.

[@trefod]

The Ash was such a useful tree, with its straight tall trunk. Good for bows and boards alike and it was the original tree in Nordic folklore. Yggdrasil was an ash.

[@nottinghamscience]

it's here on nottinghamscience where all my tree videos are posted?

[@kmica2008]

i understand trees aren't as interesting as bosons but i've started growing some plants from seed two years ago and i'm totally hooked. it's not expensive and unlike the particle physics it's something all of us can do. the video you made with markus are fantastic. please, please, please make more of them. for everyone else that finds this boring, i know, i agree, i've been that guy 3 years back. get some seeds and do your best to grow something from them. it's a wonderful thing.

[@WakeUpWolfgang]

I work for the Conservation in the USA, we are fighting Emerald Ash Bore. It is a little greed bug that makes a hole in the Ash tree and kills it. Normally this bug only travels 1 mile every 8 years but people keep moving firewood around and it is making it spread faster.

[@jeebersjumpincryst]

why is this one also here and not on the tree channel?

[@flaneurable]

I like the black buds.

[@benrr101]

Over in the midwest US, we've got the emerald ash borer that's been reducing the ash tree population in the US. Maybe the ash tree isn't the fittest tree species?

[@MultiPaulinator]

When he talked about the natural processes occurring in woodlands, it reminded me of something I learned a little about a while ago and it would be great to hear Mr. Eichhorn here discuss it. I've heard that -- at least here in the states -- artificial forest fires are, of course, fought to the death, but natural forest fires are only fought on fronts that are endangering a residential area. The rest is allowed to clear the deadwood before it can allow for a truly catastrophic forest fire.

[@immortal_coil]

He looks so much better with glasses! ( Not that this is of any importance, I just noticed. ) I love the videos, keep up the great work!

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

Could you tell me the video editing software you used to edit your video? Thank you - sláinte

[@celtgunn9775]

We had all of our ash killed when Winter Storm Atlas blew through our area here in SW South Dakota. We lost 4 of 5 trees. 😞👎

[@silverbirch4444art]

I hope it doesnt spread at all. There are so many Ash trees everywhere. I am keeping an eye out on my Ash trees in my area and thankfully so far nothing. As you say, I have seen a fair amount Elm trees coming back. As this was a tree that I could never distinguish easily, as there were so few. But now I have seen them and seen them multiplying :)

[@Anwhaz]

YES! Please make a separate "tree" based science channel. Aspiring Arborists here in the U.S. would love it (especially some of the members of my class!)

[@HenkJanBakker]

He did mention 75% dieing. Does that help?

[@CONCERTMANchicago]

I'm an amateur Arborist and Dendrologist from Chicagoland. The Fraxinus Ash species started on the American continent and spread to other continents during "Geopoetry" events. Famous landscaper Jens Jensen and architect Frank Lloyd Wright used Ash as an ingredient for their "Prairie style movement". Every Lloyd Frank house in Oak Pk & Jensen Pk around Chicago has 100-130 y.o. Ash trees planted by them surviving today until EAB. I am preserving 2-200 yo Green Ash & several Jensen Ash too.

[@TheNachter]

I suggest writing a comment and linking the video to it. It might work.

[@GWAYGWAY1]

I have. Had it for 9 years, lost 90% of all my ash trees, Dover so it was the imported trees bringing in . The biggest problem is the root rot without notice the damn things crash down. I am left with Hazel, Sweet chestnut, and Elms.

[@grayswandir47]

It's a fungus. Would aggressive treatment with copper soap be effective? In the neighborhood where I grew up near Sacramento there were an abundance of Modesto Ash trees. These were planted in the fifties and provided wonderful shade during the hot summers common here. Today the a majority of these trees have been killed or crippled by mistletoe.

[@Zepheriah]

All the links on my front page are broken. I'm glad I'm not the only person. Also videos have been kind of glitchy the last few days.

[@48ashman]

just to say Markus if its hughly affecting the young saplings of ash trees then doesnt that mean that the tree species will cease to exist and thus prevent ash from making a come back that of which you mention in your video clip

[@bertyjustice4424]

I have ash trees in my woodland, the problem is that the foliage starts about 60 foot up so I can't get to it to check them out for die-back. Is there any symptoms that may show on the trunk? Thanks

[@bengarcia3853]

Berty Justice not really but identifying crown loss might help

[@Perroquet51]

I like your positive outlook.

[@lostclaw2]

i have no idea tbh but im enjoying those videos allot.

[@tomtowers4794]

I’m in the coltwolds half the trees have been infected what I have done is collect healthy seed from the ash and have put them in my freezer so when the die back happens and the fungus has nothing left to live on and dies replant the trees 🌲

[@BBPatterson12]

I don't know how similar this is or not, but immediately the first thing that came to my mind upon seeing this video was the American Chestnut blight.

[@beaulieuc8910]

We live in a village in Kent and the council have cut down half our woodland because of Ash Die back, the woodland looks completely different and exposed

[@TheThirdGerman]

We have a lot of problems with Ash Dieback in the Black Forest (South Germany).

[@leenilinna6371]

Is there any cure? Does the garlic injection work? and how to make it?

[@bengarcia3853]

Leeni Linna unfortunately there are no cures and when a tree is infected, unless it is resistant, it will die

[@MaestroAlvis]

no I see that, but what I meant is, what his position to be making all of these videos, meeting with all of these professors. I assumed it was his job but he may just be proactive in which case he must spend a massive amount of time on this.

[@jeebersjumpincryst]

contd- and yes, I'd say he spends a(*understatement alert*) *huge* amount of time doing all these (prob too much lol), travelling, editing, reading and replying in comments - the whole 9 yards lol. The vids are used in school classrooms around the world, and he has a pretty big following of us loyal fans - more than deserved. Try subscribing if u havent already, and THUMBS UP if u like em!!! And yes he is super proactive in bringing these to us, and getting into cool science facilities like LHC.

[@ArtDeGuerra]

Can you do more Trees and Plants videos? They are very entertaining.

[@nk361]

I think you should do a clarification/simplification on Schrodinger's cat.

[@MrScillage]

From 0:10 to 0:20, really sums up life in England!

[@jasonofcompsci]

The real question is what will fender stratocaster have to do with forestry. They could start growing some and try protecting them or pay more for it and thus incentivize someone else to do the same and inadvertently play a significant role in preserving a species.

[@nottinghamscience]

Maybe you should be asking, "What was the point of the question?"

[@jeebersjumpincryst]

yea i was just about to say that, scrolled and saw yr comment. i really hope its enough to arrest it

[@MaestroAlvis]

awww, it's almost too bad that he isn't working on his own initiative. Still I could see this being a pretty good return for the investment. A cursory education for many people on KZbin might be more useful then an in depth education for one person.

[@MaestroAlvis]

I did not. Why does this guy have so many programs?

[@elminz]

Ash always says that he "Gotta Catch 'Em All"... but this time Ash caught Chalara Dieback.

[@jesusthroughmary]

You weren't sent here by Numberphile. Numberphile favorited this video because Brady favorites all his videos with all his accounts.

[@nottinghamscience]

big subscriptions glitch earlier in the day... fixed now I am told!

[@tylerbonevlogs5533]

There is a ash tree near my house that died from the from a problem but is startied from the top

[@bengarcia3853]

Tyler Bone vlogs it’s probably ash dieback, the disease is well established into the U.K. and is killing very fast

[@Farfromhere001]

These are great, please more plant videos!

[@lostclaw2]

u know it was filmed by the same guy and that its one of his chanels?

[@raisen90timpa]

4:57 Brady:"What's the point of your research?" I'm sorry Brady but that's a kind of silly question don't you think? There's always some benefit to get from any kind of scientific research. Learning about the world around us is NEVER pointless no matter what you're researching.

[@abcvideoyoutuization]

I highly recommend that any tree with this problem be cut, well below the infection. If a tree is cut back to the ground then the roots will regrow your tree. You should have a healthy tree that would regrown to full size. Other wise, if you wait, the problem will reach the roots and you have lost the trees.

[@Imi4000]

KZbin can send you an email, with new uploads.

[@xElMery]

Let man change the ecosystem, and we'll call it progress. Let Nature change the ecosystem, and we'll call it a catastrophe.

[@MaestroAlvis]

Was sent here by Numberphile. I was kinda expecting this to be a math problem.

[@DarkMoonDroid]

All good teachers seem to agree: There are no silly questions.

[@mattarmstrong8197]

Our American ash species are being devastated by emerald ash borer.

[@dragooner4]

interesting i never thought plants could get sick.

[@aosteklov]

this is most interesting thank you brady

[@Curixq]

So... that's probably why the (fairly young) ash tree behind our house died.

[@TreacleMary]

You could say... The Oak will rise from the Ashes YYYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH

[@DudokX]

WTF youtube?! Why I dont have this and videos of Bradys other channels in my subscription box.?! btw. of course Brady, great job as always!

[@3slowhand]

you sound quite optimistic about the outcome of this disease,,hope your right ? but judging from what Ive heard from various news programmes we are looking at probably a 3% survival rate...pisses me off to hear that three Environment Ministers have ignored this threat since 09 !

[@ArchNME]

You should ask this guy what he thinks about chestnut blight.

[@marcuspiper4162]

weren't wrong here! has been brutal in somerset

[@tanzanite7]

Questions from journalists are there to provoke an answer from informed source - it does not necessarily reflect what the journalist thinks.

[@AdrianReef]

inject baking soda and/or spry it mixed with water.

[@YesNowGoAway]

I have noticed that Brady often asks kind of silly questions. This is likely to get the interviewee to explain something in a form the general public understands.

[@PartVIII]

TREE CHANNEL PLEASE!

[@5INC33]

What happened to Markus, kidnapped by the secret tree service for knowing too much?

[@lostclaw2]

different channels for different science subjects. sorry if it's not grammatically correct, my grammar isn't the best.

[@AdrianReef]

just like with coloured flowers,the plant will absorb it...

[@Owild210]

@DanielBeecham its a lisp i think

[@johnaffleck9711]

To a degree it's regional in England; it's basically the upper class, public school boy, girl, class. my British girlfriends' speech was basically incomprehensible; but when I commiserated with my girlfriend on her friend's speech defect; she lambasted me for being an ignorant colonial. It's leftover from the English ruling class accent.

[@kururumega]

I'll be honest, when I saw the title I thought it was a video about a long unsolved mathematical problem.

[@gadgetwhore2]

He's asking about the FOCUS of the research, not the VALUE.

[@jeebersjumpincryst]

oops..... of course it is, what was i thinkin - or not thinkin....

[@fritspas]

Awesome, a tree expert called Eichhorn (German for; squirrel, or more literal; oak dweller)

[@DaveDangerous74]

ash = fender stratocaster. How will this effect guitars? :-| Not the guitars alive today, but the ones yet to be born?

[@Skindoggiedog]

The only thing I can think of duwing these twee videos is this guy saying 'w' instead of 'r'!! Endlessly fascinates me ... is this how the English used to speak, and have dwopped it, or is it something that is only local to certain aweas .... ?

[@48ashman]

so Markus i hope that i have the right person arent you kind of missing the point that its going to have a hugh effect on the wildlife in this country and the timber industry due to the fact that is a tree that largly populates the uk it's alright saying its going from country to country but the other countries may have other species of tree that may be more common than ash and so will appear to them to be of less importance in their country than the uk.

[@MaestroAlvis]

I don't see how that means I wasn't sent here by Numberphile.

this is not natural. this is about people importing trees from Europe. If we keep things local then this would not have happened.
