Our only native ash tree, it does not achieve the stature of northern species of ash. Should be used in naturalized landscapes in poorly-drained areas. Could be used as a shade tree in irrigated areas. Proper pruning when the tree is young is vital to longevity in the landscape.

Wildlife, reforestation, shade
