Ash Tree

Brief Description

Ash trees are deciduous trees known for their strong wood and distinctive compound leaves, typically with 5-11 leaflets per leaf. The leaves are usually bright to dark green and can have serrated or smooth edges. Some species produce samaras (winged seeds) that hang in clusters.

Care Instructions

Ash trees generally prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefit from regular watering during dry periods, especially when young. Proper pruning helps maintain their structure and health. Watch out for pests like the Emerald Ash Borer, which can be highly destructive.
