Looking for a versatile and reliable tree for all your needs? Look no further than Fraxinus americana, the white ash or American ash. With its dark green compound leaves and diamond-patterned bark, this tree is a beauty in any landscape. But it's more than just a pretty face - white ash is one of the most used trees for everyday purposes, and is cultivated all over North America. Its dense, strong, straight-grained wood is used for everything from baseball bats and tool handles to furniture and flooring. And the autumn leaves are a sight to behold, turning yellow, red, and purple.
