Thanks to the @thetownshiptx for providing our wonderful city with such a diverse amount of trees!! We are ready to nurture these babies in a pot for a while to ensure they reach their maturity levels and then we will put them in the ground! #trees #tree #loblolly #greenash #texaspecan #overcupoak #easternredbud #spicebush #witchhazel #southernmagnolia #roughleafdogwood #sugarhackberry #possumhawholly #zerowaste #thewoodlands #zerowastethewoodlands #thewoodlandstx #thewoodlandsartscouncil #thewoodlandswaterwayartsfestival #compost #compostpickup #foodwastepickup #foodwaste #plantingtrees #vermiculture #lowwaste #vermicompost #vermicomposting #seedlings #earth (at The Woodlands, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wHO6FJId3/?igshid=f75dozntll5e

Fraxinus pennsylvanica (Green Ash)

Plant community: Spontaneous Urban Growth

Native status: Native to North America

Mature size (height & width):

Height: 50 – 70 ft

Width: 35 – 50 ft

Habitat/ Tolerances:

Commonly found in low woods, floodplains and along streams, ponds and sloughs

Pollution tolerant

Pest vulnerable (Emerald Ash borer)

Salt tolerant

Drought tolerant

Flood tolerant

Poor drainage tolerant

Eco-indicator:

Hardiness zone: 3-9

Leaf color:

Dark green leaves in the summer. Leaves turn yellow or yellow green in the fall.

Flower color / bloom time:

Purple blooms which come out between April and May

Response to Climate Change:

Researchers predict that due to average temperature rise, shorter winters and a decrease in frequency of extreme cold in the Northeast the range of emerald ash borer infected areas will increase. The invasive species thrives in warmer climates and is often held back by extreme cold, but climate change impacts are improving conditions for the pest. The pest has already killed tens of millions of Green Ash trees. These changes in climate could lead to further habitat and population loss for the green ash.

Potential Climate applications:

The Green Ash has a variety of useful tolerances to flooding, drought, and pollution making it well equipped as an urban storm water tree and ready for the impacts of climate change. However, applications may be limited by the increased prevalence of the green ash borer which has devastating impacts on Green Ash populations.

Climate adaption rank: 1

Bark of a mature green ash tree (Fraxinus pennsylvanica). Ash bark is distinctive for its flat topped interlaced ridges, often forming diamond patterns. This is distinctive of ash trees, but not unique to ash trees 😊. Among others, Black locust trees (Robinia pseudoacacia) also have interlaced ridges, but the ridges tend to be more ragged, as opposed to flat-topped. #bark #treebark #greenash #ash #ashtree #fraxinus #fraxinuspennsylvanica (at Washington Park Historic District)

White Ash and Green Ash leaf comparison (Fraxinus americana and Fraxinus pennsylvanica, respectively). On the left, a #WhiteAsh leaf turned backward to show the "white" underside. On the right, a #GreenAsh leaf flipped to show the topside, surrounded by others showing their green undersides. The different lighting and orientation somewhat obfuscates the differences, but the White Ash has a (somewhat) distinct white appearance on the underside, while the underside of the Green Ash leaf is paler than the top side, but noticeably green. White Ash leaves are also somewhat broader than those of the Green Ash. #ashtree #ash #fraxinuspennsylvanica #fraxinusamericana #fraxinus #americanash #redash #pinebush #albanypinebush #sixmilewaterworks (at Six Mile Waterworks)
