Fraxinus ornus, commonly known as Flowering Ash or Manna Ash, is a stunning deciduous tree native to Southern Europe and Asia Minor, flourishing in USDA Zones 6 to 9. Renowned for its captivating and fragrant creamy white flowers that bloom from April to May, Flowering Ash reaches 40 to 50 feet in height with an equally expansive spread. This versatile tree is ideal for various uses, including as a shade or street tree. Preferring full sun and well-drained, organically rich soils, it offers moderate drought tolerance and thrives in climates with cool summer temperatures. The tree showcases odd-pinnate compound leaves with ovate, oblong leaflets, contributing to a lush, dark green summer canopy. While the fall foliage may be less distinguished, ranging from yellow-burgundy to red-purple, the tree's ornamental appeal persists. Despite being susceptible to common ash tree pests like the emerald ash borer, its ability to attract birds and tolerate deer and drought makes it a valuable addition to well-maintained landscapes. Ideal for parks and campuses, its striking flowers and cultural adaptability mark Flowering Ash as a hallmark of elegance and functionality.
