Ash trees have long been a staple in our landscapes, offering beauty, shade, and environmental benefits. However, in recent years, these trees have faced severe threats from diseases such as ash dieback and pests like the emerald ash borer. When an ash tree becomes weakened or infected, it poses significant risks to property and safety. Specialised ash tree removal is essential to prevent the spread of disease and protect surrounding vegetation. At Tree Pro, we provide expert ash tree removal services tailored to ensure safety and environmental responsibility.
The Threat of Ash Dieback and Emerald Ash Borer
Ash dieback, caused by the fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, is a devastating disease affecting ash trees across the UK and beyond. It leads to leaf loss, bark lesions, and ultimately, tree death. Additionally, the emerald ash borer, a highly destructive insect, tunnels into the bark, cutting off the tree’s ability to transport water and nutrients. These threats make professional tree removal a necessary solution in many cases.
Why Specialised Ash Tree Removal is Necessary
Removing an infected or dying ash tree is not a simple task. Because these trees often become structurally unstable, they require specialised techniques and equipment to ensure safe removal. Here are some key reasons why professional ash tree removal is essential:
- Prevents the Spread of Disease: Removing infected trees can slow or stop the spread of ash dieback and other pathogens to nearby healthy trees.
- Protects Property and People: Weak ash trees can become hazardous, with falling branches or even complete tree failure posing risks to homes, roads, and pedestrians.
- Ensures Eco-Friendly Disposal: Professional arborists ensure that diseased wood is properly disposed of or repurposed to minimise environmental impact.
- Uses Specialised Equipment and Techniques: Due to their fragility, ash trees often require advanced rigging, cranes, and sectional dismantling techniques for safe removal.
