Fraxinus latifolia, also known as the Oregon Ash, is native to western North America and can grow up to 70 ft in height with a trunk diameter of 12-30 inches. Its leaves are pinnate with 5-9 leaflets, each ovate in shape and 6-12 cm long. The tree prefers damp, loose soils and can grow up to 3000 ft in elevation. It is often associated with other trees, such as red alder and bigleaf maple, and can be found in forest cover types such as Red Alder and Port Orford-Cedar. Oregon ash has moderate growth in its early years and rapidly grows for 60-100 years. While the tree is susceptible to insect and fungal damage, its pulverized roots were used by Native American tribes to treat serious wounds, and a cold infusion of its twigs was used to treat fevers. The bark of Oregon ash is also known to be anthelmintic. The Oregon Ash is a great addition to any landscape and adds great texture and color to gardens.
