Manchurian Ash, known scientifically as Fraxinus mandshurica, is a medium to large, deciduous tree that brings both charm and versatility to any landscape. Best grown in consistently moist, well-drained loams, this stunning tree can comfortably stand at around 40-50' tall, although some specimens have been known to reach heights of up to 100'. Native to the open valleys and wooded slopes of northeast Asia and Japan, Manchurian Ash boasts peculiar leaflets, coarsely-toothed and lance-shaped, off-setting a sunken vein pattern and mat green upper side. These leaves put on a glorious display of golden hues in autumn. Come spring, expect non-showy, greenish-yellow flowers to blossom before leaves appear. While the tree makes a charming addition, caution should be exercised due to susceptibility to the Emerald Ash borer, a pest that can prove fatal to the tree within 3-5 years of infestation. Other potential issues include fall webworms, leaf miners, and fungal leaf spots. Despite this challenge, Manchurian Ash is a striking, adaptable tree perfect for those looking for something distinctive.
