Looking for a medium-sized tree to add to your garden or landscaping project? Look no further than Fraxinus profunda, also known as Pumpkin Ash. Native to eastern North America, this deciduous tree reaches 40-100 ft and has a trunk up to 3 ft in diameter. With gray, thick, fissured bark, and dark brown to blackish winter buds with a velvety texture, it adds visual interest all year round. In spring, inconspicuous purplish-green flowers are produced in panicles, followed by the largest of any North American ash species' fruit - a samara comprising a single seed with an elongated apical wing 9mm broad. Plant in coarse or medium-textured soil with a planting density of 300-800 per acre and enjoy pumpkin ash's rapid growth rate and high fire tolerance.
