Green Ash

Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica)

The Green Ash tree grows in seasonally flooded forests along streams, swamps, and rivers. They are resistant to wind and flooding, making it a common tree to be planted as a shelterbelt. It is most common in Central Maine, generally grows to about 60-70 feet tall with a 1.5-2 feet diameter, and can easily be mistaken for Black Ash.
