Oak Powdery Mildew is a disease that can severely impact young tree growth, particularly in saplings & young specimens. It is a major concern for future regeneration of our oak trees. We need to understand more about it to safeguard our young trees #PlantHealthWeek #ActionOak

To mark #PlantHealthWeek we're highlighting the role of the amazing sphagnum mosses in this week's NatureScot Peatland ACTION blog. Who knew there were more than 30 species in the UK alone! Plantlife BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland tinyurl.com/7mzd4mv9
