Trees breathe through their leaves, which are generally well above the level of the diesel fumes being produced by the new cleaner diesel engines currently in use, and not through their bark which is simply a protective cover to prevent contaminants entering their xylem and phloem systems.

Any more nonsense to spout tonight Islay? I'm feeling a bit bored and really enjoy our discussions.

I suggest that you take a walk along the Kingsway between the Old Glamis Road roundabout and the traffic lights at Forfar Road and see things for yourself. There is a least one dead tree along this stretch of the Kingsway.

What caused this tree to die? Can you say it was definitely diesel fumes and not disease or stripping of its bark by deer or vandals for example?

I do not have a clue and I have no intention of inhaling diesel fumes to find out what has caused this tree to die.
That is the experts at Transport Scotland’s problem as they are responsible for the trunk road network throughout Scotland including the A90 Kingsway in Dundee.
