If Ash begins to struggle to maintain it's fast growing quick colonising role in Sussex will Sycamore (which seems to be becoming locally dominant in many old coppiced woods that I visit in East Sussex) step in to the gap? What native tree species might be plated in die back areas? Personally I don't like Sycamore woods that much and wish that woodland owners would work to remove it with gusto! I suppose people will be thinking forward.
What trees could be best to replace it in our woodlands if the worst happens to Ash.
