The Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) is a rugged, fast-growing native shade tree prized for its adaptability, strong structure, and brilliant yellow fall color. With a tall, rounded canopy and glossy green foliage, Green Ash is a dependable performer for large landscapes, streetscapes, parks, windbreaks, and restoration plantings. Exceptionally tolerant of clay soils, loam, and seasonally wet sites, this hardy tree thrives where many others struggle, making it a reliable choice across a wide range of environments.
Beyond its landscape strength, Green Ash delivers outstanding ecological and wildlife value. It serves as a host plant for native butterflies, including the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Mourning Cloak, Orange Sulphur, and Viceroy. Its seeds provide food for birds and small mammals, while its low-tannin leaf litter enriches soil and supports native amphibians and beneficial organisms. Tough, adaptable, and deeply rooted in North American ecosystems, Green Ash brings beauty, shade, and resilience to any property.
For land stewards seeking a native, fast-growing, wildlife-supporting shade tree, the Green Ash Tree stands as a proven and powerful addition to both natural and managed landscapes.

| Pruning | Prune in late winter to early spring for strong branch structure; remove dead or crossing branches |
| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
