Conker trees in trouble

It has been reported that the UK's population of conker trees are under threat from a bacteria that initially shows itself as a blood red canker on the tree. Not all trees die as a result of the infection and the Tree Council setup after the Dutch Elm disease pandemic are urging caution before felling diseased trees. Either way it may be that conkers used in the autumn by children in the traditional game might in future be in short supply.
