Green Ash
Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) is a deciduous tree native to North America, widely distributed across the eastern and central parts of the continent. This tree is known for its pinnately compound leaves with leaflets arranged oppositely along the stem, creating a feather-like appearance. Green ash typically grows to heights of 50 to 70 feet (15 to 21 meters) and is valued for its rapid growth, making it a popular choice for shade trees and timber. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, from wet to dry, and is commonly found in floodplains and riparian areas, where its fibrous root system helps stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
