The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Breeding trees resistant to insects and diseases: putting theory into application (2017, background): “Research has shown that genetic resistance to this pathogen exists (McKinney et al. 2014) and there is preliminary evidence indicating that some genotypes of F. excelsiormay be less susceptible to EAB (J.Koch, personal comm.).”
An overview of ash (Fraxinus spp.) and the ash dieback disease in Europe. (2019, background): “[19], showing a more or less concentric expansion from the epicentre of the disease, which is believed to be located in north-eastern Poland [8].”
Resilience of forests to pathogens: An evolutionary ecology perspective (2015, background): “Recovery programmes deploying naturally occurring quantitative resistance in this way have been advocated as an appropriate response to combat the present ash dieback outbreak (McKinney et al., 2014).”
