One significant threat for UK trees is Xylella fastidiosa. This bacterium could impact a wide range of tree species if introduced, posing a risk to the country's woodlands and ecosystems. Vigilance and preventive measures are crucial. Emma.

Prevention is always better than cure. Never assume biosecurity threats aren't present, and remember to follow our 3 calls to action: Arrive Clean, Keep it Clean and Leave Clean. More info here: gov.uk/guidance/prevent-the-…
