Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. oxycarpa, commonly known as Caucasian Ash or Desert Ash, is a versatile and elegant addition to any landscape. Native to Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia, this deciduous tree can grow to impressive heights of 60-80 ft with a trunk diameter reaching up to 5 ft. Its smooth, pale grey bark evolves into a rich, square-cracked texture as it matures, adding character and visual appeal.

Distinct for its pale brown buds, this species features lush pinnate leaves, composed of 3–13 slender leaflets, each adorned with delicate white hairs on the midribs, creating a graceful display. Come early spring, Caucasian Ash flourishes with a profusion of inflorescences, boasting male, hermaphrodite, or mixed flowers, attracting pollinators and enlivening gardens.

Renowned for its fast growth, Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. oxycarpa is ideal for creating woodland areas or functional timber plantations. Its timber, though less robust than its relatives, is perfect for the pulp, paper, and plywood industries. Choose Caucasian Ash to enjoy a rapid-growing, resilient, and aesthetically pleasing green solution for any environment.
