I have an Ash tree in my garden, I thought of harvesting it to keep the Morgan going in years to come. But the council have slapped a preservation order on it, I wonder if it gets Ash die back they will come and fix it notworthy

Over the road from us they have a Mountain Ash which they are not allowed to cut down. A Rowan tree with a preservation order! It's not even that old.
