Fraxinus chinensis, commonly known as the Chinese Ash, is a magnificent deciduous tree reaching heights of up to 50 ft. Adorned with striking foliage, its leaves, measuring 12-35 cm, are a lush blend of broadly ovate to lanceolate shapes, offering a serene, green canopy. The tree is not just admired for its beauty; it boasts a wealth of uses. The wood is cherished in cabinet making, imparting elegance and durability to furniture. Beyond aesthetics, the Chinese Ash is steeped in traditional medicine. The bark, known for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties, is utilized in treating conditions like coughs, apoplexy, and liver diseases, and even offers protection against UV light. The leaves serve as remedies for dysentery disorders. Hardy to zone 6, this tree thrives in moist, well-drained soils, tolerating strong winds and atmospheric pollution. Its resilience and versatile uses make Fraxinus chinensis a valuable addition to any landscape, offering beauty, utility, and traditional medicinal benefits.
