Sweet Chestnut Faces Threats from Blight and Pests in UK Forestry

Sweet Chestnut Faces Threats from Blight and Pests in UK Forestry

The sweet chestnut, once considered a resilient species for UK forestry, is now under threat from sweet chestnut blight and the oriental chestnut gall wasp. These threats have raised concerns about the future of sweet chestnut in the UK, where it has been valued for its applications in coppice biomass and its assumed resilience to climate change. The blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, was first identified in 2011, while the gall wasp was discovered in 2015. Recent outbreaks in Devon have further highlighted the vulnerability of sweet chestnut to these pests and diseases. Despite these challenges, sweet chestnut has a rich history in the UK and potential for future use if effective management strategies are implemented.
