The Green Ash is a fast grower and is native to the Canadian Prairies. It thrives in many soil conditions, including alkaline soil, and handles cold winters and dry spells with ease. That toughness has made it a long-time favourite for shade, windbreaks, and shelterbelt rows on acreages and in town. In the fall, its leaves turn a bright yellow for some nice ornamental value.
Seedling size is approximately 12” tall, 1 year old.
