Fraxinus texensis, commonly known as Texas Ash, is an exquisite addition to any landscape. This medium-sized, deciduous tree reaches an impressive height of 40 to 50 feet, matching its expansive spread, and is renowned for its densely branched canopy and attractive gray, furrowed bark adorned with distinctive brown or black blotches. Texas Ash thrives in a variety of rocky and limestone soils, requiring minimal water and favoring sunny to partially shaded environments. Widely recognized for its resilience, this fast-growing, drought-tolerant tree makes a vibrant statement with its brilliant fall colors.

Native to the limestone hills and canyons of Texas, this perennial is a vital component of grassland, woodland, and wetland habitats, serving as a larval host to the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly and providing nesting material. While male and female flowers appear on separate trees, its understated green and purplish blooms usher in the renewal of spring. Concluding its reproductive cycle, the ash produces clusters of delicate winged seeds, or samaras. Though not always found in nurseries, you can cultivate this hidden gem, making it a cherished choice for enhancing biodiversity and sustaining local wildlife.
