David Nash has planted a ring of 22 oak trees around his original 1977 Ash Dome, a circle of 22 ash trees near Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales, now succumbing to ash dieback disease. The oaks, planted seven years ago, are healthy but not yet ready for shaping, a task Nash says will fall to his sons and others after he and the ashes are gone.
