I spotted this open wound on this tree in the haagsche Bos the other day. Many trees in the city are suffering from this kind of haemorrhage caused by a new bacteria. The same sympoms have been reported around the country on chestnut trees, beech trees and maple trees. A specialised organisation is working on studying this bacteria and is trying to find a solution to this problem. So far, we regularly read in the local news that sick trees need to be cut down, a sad ending story.

Oh, crap. Sounds like the Dutch elm disease that devastated elms throughout Europe and North America hundred years ago, which was caused by a micro-fungus. I hope this one can be controlled.
Agreed, hopefully it will be resolved before it is to late.
