Oregon Ash : Fraxinus latifolia

Plant type: deciduous tree
Height: 30-80'

Light: full to part sun
Soil: moist to seasonally wet

Growth rate: medium
PPL: YES

Our only native ash - pinnately compound, spring green leaves turn yellow in fall. Females grow a massive spray of winged seeds that birds love.

This tree gets huge eventually - growing near water.

A threat to this species is spreading throughout Oregon, the Emerald Ash Borer. Make sure you do not transport firewood of this species - or move it across Oregon counties. Watch and see how it adapts, EAB is here to stay but so is Oregon Ash ;)
