Xylella : How can we protect our plants?

Dame Helen Mirren helps to renew efforts to keep plant disease Xylella fastidiosa out of the UK in 2020 – the UN’s International Year of Plant Health - narrating a new animation that warns of the devastation it causes. Xylella is a bacterium that infects more than 500 species of plant causing leaf scorch, wilt, die-back and plant death. There is no known cure for the disease. Xylella is not present in the UK but the public is being asked to look out for symptoms and to report them to the TreeAlert service (https://treealert.forestresearch.gov.uk/) when the cause cannot be explained by other factors, such as frost damage, drought or other common pests and diseases. Advice to help prevent the introduction of Xylella includes: 1. Source new plants carefully, where possible purchase plants grown in the UK 2. Propagate your own plants from seeds or cuttings 3. Check plants for signs of disease before purchase and monitor the health of new plants 4. Never bring plants back with you from abroad Post Production Note: Since the production of this video the buffer zone for Xylella fastidiosa has been reduced from 5km as stated, down to 2.5km.
