Discover the beauty and versatility of Fraxinus uhdei, known as Evergreen Ash, Mexican Ash, Shamel Ash, or Tropical Ash. Native to the lush landscapes of southern Mexico and Central America, this fast-growing tree thrives in warm climates and is perfect for adding elegance and shade to your garden or urban space. Reaching heights of 25-30 feet within just a decade, this resilient species can eventually soar to an impressive 70-80 feet, with a rounded canopy that provides ample shade.

Evergreen Ash boasts glossy, dark green leaves divided into 5-9 lance-shaped leaflets with serrated edges, adding texture and vibrancy year-round. Inconspicuous flowers bloom from winter to spring, leading to the development of papery, winged fruits that gracefully adorn female trees. Although dioecious, with separate male and female trees, it's a prolific seed producer, making it both a cherished ornamental and a species to monitor in certain regions due to its invasive potential.

Ideal for moist, well-drained soils, this shade-tolerant tree is highly adaptable, thriving in oak woodlands, riparian areas, and urban environments across southern California and beyond. Embrace this striking tree's aesthetic appeal while practicing mindful maintenance to manage its shallow root system and ensure optimal growth. Perfect for environmentally conscious landscapers and gardeners, Evergreen Ash marries elegance with ecological responsibility.
