Abstract
The common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) is threatened by a new disease which is currently spreading across Europe from east to west. The recently described anamorphic fungus, Chalara fraxinea Kow. is most likely playing a key role in this process, but the additional involvement of other factors (e.g. climate, insects) is possible. Based on observations in Poland, the authors describe the disease symptoms and the morphology of the fungus. In addition, the available literature on this epidemic is reviewed.
