On this page we aim to keep you posted about the latest bulletins on pests and diseases. If there is anything you feel we need to add please email Denise Taylor on fabhs.info@gmail.com
The really important message on this is that we should ON NO ACCOUNT be bringing in plant material of any sort (including cuttings and seeds) from overseas unless it is reliably sourced from suppliers holding the appropriate plant passports. If you are at all unsure, please ask your nursery or supplier for details of the plant’s origin and its passport details, if they cannot tell you, please don’t buy it.
Buy British-grown instead. If diseased plant material comes into the UK, it will decimate not only our gardens but our horticultural industries too.
