It's Chalara. The tree looks fine at the moment, but the back end of
last year it looked really bad.

That's a pity. Are there any others in the area showing signs of infection?

The stuff around it is growing fine. Far better than it ever did in our
old garden, which was on Bagshot sand.

The trunk is about 6 inches diameter, its about 2ft from the wall, and
about 20ft from next door's house. Given some of the other comments I'll
kill it anyway (ringbarking when in leaf will help dry the timber for
the fire).

Now - stump killer. I can't use sodium chlorate any more... so what
should I use?

Not a great choice, really - glyphosate or triclopyr
