Discover the remarkable Fraxinus velutina, commonly known as Arizona Ash, Velvet Ash, or Modesto Ash, a versatile native of the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Celebrated for its fast growth and expansive canopy, this deciduous marvel offers refreshing shade for various landscapes, from residential to commercial settings. Reaching heights of 20 to 50 feet, Arizona Ash is a perfect fit for those seeking rapid transformation in their outdoor spaces.

Characterized by its pinnately compound green leaves and smooth, light-gray bark, this tree delights with subtle pale yellow flowers in winter, producing wind-resistant samara fruits. Notably low maintenance, these ash trees thrive in full sun, displaying impressive cold hardiness and drought resistance once established. While easy to grow, they offer the added benefit of keeping homes warm in winter while cooling them in summer.
