New Hope for trees affected by ash dieback

There has been a discovery by scientists who have found a resistance to the disease, ash dieback. Ash dieback was originally from Asia and it is a disease that Ash trees get by the fungus Hymenoscyphus Fraxineus. Introduced to Europe this fungus brings great danger and destruction to trees, but in its native range it brings little harm. Therefore in Europe, as the study was taken, in the UK, if trees are not treated with this new found resistance than it could definitely cost the government a bunch of money, and nevertheless we do not want our trees dying with diseases anyway, we want our trees healthy. We as the human race should be taking care of our environment just because its our duty. There is good news that there are 3,000 locations in which the DNA of the ash trees are definitely contributing to resistance. Which means there is a chance for this epidemic to be laid to rest in places like the UK, where this disease can stop harming our trees. Does anyone else have any opinions?
