Yellow bark on Ash trees

denismc · 2019-03-21 18:06:14

I have a few ash trees in the garden that have yellow bark. Just wondering if this a nutrient deficiency or some kind of infestation? The garden is coastal but other ash trees in the garden seem to be OK, is there anything I can do to help these trees along? 20190321_110155 by Denis Mc Carthy, on Flickr

There is definitely harm being done as these trees are about 2/3 the height of other trees in the garden and some of the branches have rotted.
I always thought it was down to salt being blown from the sea nearby but other trees in the garden don't seem to be affected .

Are you sure they're not just the slower growing Golden-barked Ash?

Just about to post the same question, as they look to me like they are
