Perhaps the disease has died out from lack of spreading agents? Seeing something similar here with Wych Elm Ulmus glabra reappearing after the Elm...
If it means they don't decay, it could also mean our bodies can't digest them (since decay and digestion are broadly similar breakdown processes)...
Any significant wind or heavy rain in the last day or two?
Technical quibble . . . nobody has ever seen a flower on a Ginkgo, they're not flowering plants so don't have them :-) Can't really call them...
Good luck! You can't have too many firs :-)
I'd reckon that Abies alba is more shade tolerant than A. vejarii; the latter grows in much more open, sparse woodland.
Checked it on street view and agree with Acer macrophyllum.
Permanent daylight? 24 hours per day, all year? Now there's an interesting idea! :-) How are they going to enforce it?
Whatever, a very attractive thistle - whoever named it "horridulum" needs their head examined :-)
Certainly looks more like C. pisifera; can you get some close-up macro photos, just to be certain? A foliage underside shot would help too.
Sorry, don't know the answer to that! I'd guess it is the particular strain of P. ramorum in Britain; and yes, if that strain were to reach Japan,...
Thanks! Yes, Larix occidentalis grows the largest in the wild, eventually, but it is very slow-growing compared to European and Japanese Larches;...
Also check out Prunus × subhirtella 'Autumnalis'.
Geranium × oxonianum is one of those (there are many others, though).
Check out Geranium × oxonianum - it's invasive around here, very prolific.
