Nursery Note: Please be aware that these trees are deciduous, meaning they lose their leaves each autumn. As temperatures cool in the fall, the trees begin their seasonal transformation with brightening foliage and colorful, falling leaves. As bare as they may appear without foliage, the trees benefit greatly from their annual winter’s rest, and will awaken in the springtime to readorn themselves with lush new foliage.

About Green Ash
From the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service:
"Green ash is a native spreading, round topped tree which grows to a height of 70 feet or more. The deciduous leaves are pinnately compound, 8 to 12 inches long, with 5 to 9 leaflets. The leaflets are oblong, lustrous green on both sides or somewhat paler beneath. The twigs are pale gray along with brown bark. The fruit (samara), usually containing one seed, is light colored, 1 to 2 inches long and ÂĽ to 1/3 inch wide with a wing.
Green ash is found in areas with 15 to 60 inches of yearly precipitation. It is found growing naturally in bottomlands subject to frequent flooding or overflow. Green ash is moderately tolerant to shade. Some woody species associated with green ash include box elder (Acer negunda), red maple (A. rubrum), pecan (Carya illinoensis), eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides), black willow (Salix nigra), and American elm (Ulmus americana)."

Seedling Size Chart: Medium
Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
